| RSS feed Make your own RSS feed |
RSS is an abbrevation of "Rich Site Summary", "RDF Site Summary" or "Really Simple Syndication" (the last one is mostly used). All the different names have an insight to coding, like the different versions of RSS (0.90, 1.0, 2.0 etc) have one. The filename on a newsfeed will always have the extension ".rdf", ".xml" or ".rss". Let's take a look at a normal RSS document. Though you should know, that RSS is a XML document, and because of that, will all RSS documents start with a XML declaration.
The first line indicates that we use XML version 1.0. The encoding/charset is indicated to iso-8859-1, which I from europe normally uses. The next line indicates the version of the RSS which is 2.0. <channel> is (as it stands) indicating the the channel - the source of the news. <item> is the point that tell us "here do we start the news". <title> is the title of the news. <link> is the link to the news itself. <description> is a short description of the news. We can also insert an image, which could be placed after the above example.
<image> indicates we uses an image. <title> sets the title for the image. <url> should be equal the url of the image. <link> will be were the image should be leading us. That was actually it. But remember! You also need to make a "News Aggregator" or "RSS-Client" to read and recieve your newsfeeds. But I think the most hosts already have one, so just contact them, if you have any doubt or etc. |
