Learn how to Create a RSS Feed
Creating an RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feed is really
quite a simple process. RSS is a lightweight XML design that is
really easy to setup and implement. It's a great way to pass on
important updates, send out your articles or news, or send out
your favorite website links!
RSS feeds can be setup in a very short time, literally a few
minutes! Simply put, an RSS feed is basically a text file with a
couple HTML looking tags. There is an area with the information
about the feed, then individual blocks of code for each article
or piece of content being syndicated. It may sound bad now, but I
assure you it's very simple to setup and I'll give you a full
working example by the end of this article!
The first thing you need to do is to create a file that you
want to call your RSS feed. It can be anything, the name isn't
important. For this article I will call it "cool_feed.xml"
All the following code will be placed inside the
"cool_feed.xml" file. This file is the primary file you will use,
in fact outside of one minor modification to other pages in your
website you will use this file exclusively for sending out your
feed updates.
The above block of code as you can see is very similar to
HTML, all it is doing is telling people the version of XML you
are using, and the version of RSS you are conforming to, as you
can see this is XML v1.0 and RSS v0.91.
The next thing we need to do is setup your "channel" which is
the name of your feed, and a description of it. In addition to
the description it gives some contact information, the language
and the website you run.
Your Website Title http://YourWebsite.com/ What is your RSS
Feed about? en-us Your Copyright Line [email protected]
[email protected]
As I've mentioned several times before, it's similar to HTML
in that it has an open and closing block after each parameter.
But you also may have noticed there isn't a closing block for
CHANNEL. That is because it is sort of the equivalent of the
"BODY" block in HTML, it will do it's close near the very end.
Actually, we opened the RSS block up in the first block of code I
gave you also, where we set the version, that is the equivalent
to the HTML block and will be the very last thing closed at the
end of the XML file.
Article Number One
http://YourWebsite.com/Article_Number_One.html 1-3 sentences
about your article
This ITEM block is your first article, every time you want to
add an update you just create another ITEM block similar to this
one. It simply has an article title, link to where the article is
on your website, and a description field, which is normally 1-3
sentences long.
These are the final closing blocks of code for the channel and
RSS blocks that you setup in the top of the file. You must have
these blocks of code at the very end, in this order. I will give
a couple of links to websites that can check your code to make
sure it works properly.
Once you have saved all that code in your file, the next thing
we need to do is modify your website. This set is NOT required by
any means, but it tells your users web browsers that you have an
RSS feed, if their browser supports viewing them.
All you have to do is add the following line to the HEAD field
of your website:
Congratulations, you are the proud owner of a brand new RSS
feed!
