| 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 in the codinghistory, like the different versions of RSS like "0.90", "1.0", "2.0" etc. The filename on a newsfeed will always have the suffix ".rdf", ".xml" or ".rss". To not confuse you to much, can I say, that RSS is a XML document, and because of that, will all RSS documents start with a XML declaration.
Actually is a RSS document buils like a HTML document, just with som other tags. That's how easy it is.
^That's an usual example of a RSS document. Now i'll try to explain it to you. The first line indicates that we use XML version 1.0 and 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 chanel - the source of the news. <item> is a 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 can be placed after the above code-example.
with <image> we indicates we uses an image. After that do we use <title> to make a title, <url> to create our image with the link inside the tags, and <link> to set a link. 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 doubt. |
