Hi I have a static site that I am interested in somehow creating an RSS feed for, how exactly do I do this? Is there anyone on this forum that can shed some light on this subject?
1. Do you want to create an RSS feed OF YOUR site? or 2. just set up an RSS feed into your website from another site's feed? Anyway, if it's option 1, I do not believe that an RSS feed would work for a static site because the whole point of RSS is sending subscribers updates to NEW content, which is why blogs use RSS so much because they are constantly being updated with fresh content and so the RSS subscribers get notifications via the RSS of the updates. BUT if you update your site regularly it can be a VERY powerful tool. I use feedburner.com for my rss and there I burn feeds for my blogs and squidoo lenses and hub pages, Haven't tried a static site but I am sure it would work feedburner is top of the line for RSS feed services--It's totally free! ALSO: Here is a GREAT guide for creating RSS feeds for a website: www.2createawebsite.com/traffic/create-rss-feeds.html If it's option 2 then you get the RSS feed code from whatever site you are interested in and then added it your sites code and it will automatically feed on to your site from their site. Hope this helps!
he is asking, to create rss for his site, so that other users can subscribe. Yes JR Lang your Option number 1. but i think feedburner is not the solution. I also have static site with 500+ pages and growing updating continuously.. and m also looking to provide rss feeds.
OK then check out this tutorial it talks in detail about the subject: www.2createawebsite.com/traffic/create-rss-feeds.html
Yes your right that feedburner is not the best it's just a redirect, you need your own feed and there is software for that: Check out this tutorial it talks in detail about the subject: www.2createawebsite.com/traffic/create-rss-feeds.html
This is a modified version of one of previous posts with added information and links. In my opinion Web page owners should use RSS/Atom feeds to announce page updates and new content additions. Feeds may lead to increased visitation and page loads. Of course, feed availability must be prominently advertised on the site -- probably most appropriately on the Home Page. This Web Author RSS Tutorial is an excellent overview of RSS/Atom that will answer most basic questions. If you read the information on the following pages you will have a good grasp of what RSS/Atom is all about and should be well on your way to creating, publishing and maintaining your own feeds. Google Feed 101 * Reading, Publishing & Using RSS/Atom Feeds (part of preceding page but important enough to read again) How to Create an RSS Feed With Notepad, a Web Server, and a Beer Rapid Feeds - RSS for Everyone FeedBurner (Google) * * Note that Google has acquired FeedBurner and is now promoting RSS feeds for disseminating updated Web Page content. Most modern Browsers also function as feed readers. If you see this little orange icon displayed in a Browser header menu bar (often the address window) it indicates there is an RSS feed available. Clicking on the icon will display a Live Bookmark window (which may contain links to updated content, depending on how your Browser is configured). You can then either just read the feed or subscribe to it in which case the icon will display in your Browser header accompanied by the feed title. The bookmarked icon remains visible and usable in your Browser until removed (via a mouse right click) ........ you can check for automatic content updates for bookmarked pages by simply clicking on the appropriate icon at any time. I have installed a live RSS Feed information section on my Home Page that lists three schemes for using feeds to automatically disseminate page update information to subscribers. James
are there any online services for provision of RSS feed guidelines? RSS feeds baffle me, and even more annoyingly i recently found out what the RSS stands for, nightmare.
