has its own website since yesterday my RSS feed and this blog here offers such a feed, but what is an RSS feed and how do I make me as one? An RSS feed is a message format for the Internet that works like a ticker, you can subscribe to it and thereby receive the latest news of a website.
The creation is explained not so simple. First I want to explain you how to create by hand an RSS document, you need only to an editor (for example. Or Notepad, which I recommend Weaverslave ). The creation is explained very quickly, I'll show just once a simple RSS document and agree with the entries, what it says. Here are the lines that you have to just paste it into a blank document:
\u0026lt;xml version = "1.0" encoding = "ISO-8859-1"?>
\u0026lt;rss version="2.0"> ;
\u0026lt;channel>
\u0026lt;title> That's the name my RSS feed \u0026lt;/ title>
\u0026lt;link> relates to this website to my RSS feed \u0026lt;/ link>
\u0026lt;description> A short description \u0026lt;/ description>
\u0026lt;language> en-us \u0026lt;/ language>
\u0026lt;item>
\u0026lt;title> Nachricht1 title \u0026lt;/ title>
\u0026lt;description> description1 \u0026lt;/ description>
\u0026lt;link> link to the first message \u0026lt;/ link>
\u0026lt;author> I \u0026lt;/ author>
\u0026lt;/ item>
\u0026lt;item>
\u0026lt;title> the Nachricht1 title \u0026lt;/ title>
A description2 \u0026lt;/ description>
\u0026lt;link> \u0026lt;description> link to the second Message \u0026lt;/ link>
I \u0026lt;author> \u0026lt;/ author>
\u0026lt;/ item>
\u0026lt;/ channel>
\u0026lt;/ rss>
And now the explanation, a RSS document is basically nothing but an XML document, therefore the first line &T;? xml version = "1.0" encoding = "ISO-8859-1"?> also an XML declaration that says just that this document is an XML document is. Encoding is here for the coding, I chose this coding, so that such characters as ß properly, is selected by default UTF-8.
Next follows the declaration of the RSS version of the day \u0026lt;rss version="2.0"> (Tags are the things in brackets), in this case, RSS version 2.0.
If still not very exciting. Next is the \u0026lt;channel> day that initiates the actual feed and finished in all the information about the feed and its entries are, this day is about right at the end with \u0026lt;/ channel> All the tags are in the rest terminated by the forward slash.
The tags \u0026lt;title> and \u0026lt;description> should be self-explanatory, just enter only the title and a description of the RSS feed to in day \u0026lt;link> the link is at the domain to the RSS feed is and \u0026lt;language> day you find information on the languages used in the case de-de (ie German), for English it would be en or en-us.
Now for the comments. For each entry there is one \u0026lt;item> day plus the closing day, this day follow each other directly, but are not nested. Again, the tags are probably
\u0026lt;description> \u0026lt;title> and self-explanatory and obvious, the link tag specifies where the actual news item is. Additionally you can specify the day \u0026lt;author> to identify who wrote the entry.
At the end of the document \u0026lt;channel> \u0026lt;rss> day and the day is closed. Now the document is to save more and upload to the web space. Then you can look the document, which is likely to look something like this.
So far so good, everything it's also not enough to create a custom RSS feed, but there are some tags for the various other attributes which you can add. In Wikipedia you can still find a better-developed RSS document as an example.
Will you now install your feed in your website (in Firefox you can then, for example in the URL bar click the icon and the beautiful orange RSS-feed), then simply add the following line in your Metaangabe your HTML file (or . PHP, etc.)
\u0026lt;link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS" href="feed.rss" />
Sun and now that I've told you as you shall prepare a document for yourself ... There are also great tools to do the work for you and also offer a few extras. The program is called, which I prefer to feed Writer, which you will find on the pages of the manufacturer mirabyte . Very easy to use program in my opinion.
Another last possibility is to get a CMS (Content Management System), which by itself provides the ability to create RSS feeds, but mostly a PHP-enabled web server is needed, but as you can on various information pages.
Thats all from me about RSS feeds, I hope I could help some people with it.
greeting
Sebastian
