Creating RSS Feeds
| 1.) Creating a Feed |
The specification can seem overwhelming
to those not familiar with markup languages, fortunately
there are software tools, like FeedForAll
that make feed creation easy for both beginners and novices.
If you are bound and determined to hand-code a feed I
recommend the make
RSS feeds site that provides a step by step coding
walk through. |
| 2.) Determine Content |
RSS feed can be used an number of ways. The idea is
for a feed to contain content that will be updated on
a regular basis.
|
| 3.) Download
Software |
The software we recommend is
FeedForAll
which makes the creation of feeds simple for even Internet
beginners.
The software allows you to enter information into the
fields. The software will format the information in a
way that will conform to the RSS 2.0 specificaiton. |
| 4.) Enter
Data in Main Fields |
The important fields are:
Channel - title, description & links
Item - title, description & links
If you are using software it will automatically insert
the publish dates.
|
| 5.) Submit Feed |
A number of sites index rss feeds. It is
important to submit
your rss feed (xml file) to these sites when it is
created. These sites are similar to web search engines
like google, but they simply index feeds rather than websites.
