Create your own RSS feed and add new content to your web site daily


RSS allows people to have the latest information directly to them. You can get the latest news, articles, photos and videos in one place and as soon as they become available.

RSS feeds allow people to choose the content you want to view. RSS is a way of syndicating content, which means having all the information you are interested in living together in a central location.

To create an RSS feed you have two choices. First, you can encode your feed via XML or you may consider using software that creates the XML file for you.

You can create an RSS feed, with no coding on your own, using an easy to use software applications that can format your XML.

An example is FeedForAll.

You can also encode your RSS feed.

Just as the HTML code contains XML tags opening and closing to designate the title, description and link. They are enclosed in brackets, just like standard HTML. The closing tag contains a slash.

The article contains information for each of your ads. They contain personal information that is distributed as articles, etc.

For each item in your feed will get:

a title

a description

link

The title and description should describe the content of that particular element or a link. The connection will be referred to the web page that contains all the actual content.

The following is what an element in an XML file will be like once you remove the asterisks:

Title Here

Description Here

linkhere

It 's very important that the links are highly qualified. If someone syndicates the feed and then you want to make sure that the links work if the code is on another site or server.

Thus, an RSS feed is simply a series of elements that are all chained together to create a channel. When you need to update your feed, just add another element to the base of the XML.

The channel tag is located at the top of the XML file and explains how all elements are related. A tag Channel also contains a title tag, description and link. The open channel tag appears before the first tag and the channel appears after the last close.

Here's the title of the channel

The explanation of how items are related goes here

linkhere

Title Here

Description Here

linkhere

Another title here

Description Here

linkhere

Once you have all the elements set is therefore necessary to designate as an XML file by inserting specific tags at the beginning and end of the code.

Here's the title of the channel

The explanation of how items are related goes here

linkhere

Title Here

Description Here

linkhere

Another title here

Description Here

linkhere

You must save the file. XML, for example UcanTo dot com / articles.xml

Do not forget to remove all asterisks from the above code before using it!

TIP: There is an XML editor that will help with the creation of RSS feeds. Just Google the first Object Editor.

When you have finished your RSS feeds next step is to load it on the server and then confirm. This step is very important, will ensure that your RSS feed is working properly and can be accessed. Visit Feed Validator and enter the URL of the RSS feed, which should be completed in XML.

If you have done this far, congratulations! It should now let everyone know about your RSS feed. Vai on specific options for a list of sites where you can submit your new feed. Take the time to do it. I think it's much better to manually submit your feed and then use any free services.

One last tip! Now that you have your RSS feed must be updated regularly. To do this just add another element to the XML file and upload! Then go to Ping-O-Matic and enter your RSS feed. Ping-O-Matic is a service which updates multiple search engines when your specific feed feed has been updated. So, whenever you add new content to your feed go to Ping-O-Matic and let everyone know!
