    This is going to sound like a real newbie question But RSS seems to have passed me by...:mad:

    I want to add an rss feed to my article site www.freezine-articles.com I have set this up and if I put the link manually into a news reader I can see the latest articles.

    How do I provide the link details to users?? I have put an rss button on the front page which is linked to the feed url but I have also added the url in text form. How do people usually grab a feed??

    In the html head section put
    <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="My RSS Feed" href="my-url.rss">
    Code (markup):
    That way Firefox users will get an orange button in their status bar so that they can subscribe to your feed with just a couple of clicks.
