- <nav></nav>
- <main>
- <p>
- RSS feeds are an easy way to be notified about new content from various websites, and they are easy to implement in your website.
- </p>
-
- <h2>How an RSS Feed Works</h2>
- <p>
- Some websites with frequently changing content like blogs, podcasts, or video sharing sites, will have a link to a file containing the RSS feed and its items.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- When there is new content, a new item can be added to the RSS feed, and old items can optionally be removed from the RSS feed. A user's feed reader can check an RSS feed for new items and notify the user about them or organize them.
- </p>
-
- <h2>Writing an RSS Feed</h2>
- <p>
- RSS feeds are written as XML (e<strong>x</strong>tensible <strong>m</strong>arkup <strong>l</strong>anguage) files, so they can be written and served similar to HTML webpages.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- We will start by creating a file for our RSS feed. Make sure the file name ends with <code>.rss</code> or <code>.xml</code>. Then, write the following code in the file:
- </p>
-
- <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?&gt;
-&lt;rss version="2.0"&gt;
- &lt;channel&gt;
- &lt;/channel&gt;
-&lt;/rss&gt;</code></pre>
-
- <p>
- The <code>&lt;rss&gt;</code> tag specifies that there is an RSS feed in between the <code>&lt;rss&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;/rss&gt;</code> tags. <code>version="2.0"</code> specifies that version 2.0 of RSS is used. The items in an RSS feed go in between the <code>&lt;channel&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;/channel&gt;</code> tags.
- </p>
-
- <h3>Title, Description, and Link</h3>
- <p>
- Now we will write a title and description for our RSS feed, as well as a link to the webpage that the RSS feed goes with. In this example, we will be writing an RSS feed for a blog called <strong>LandChad's Blog</strong>.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- In between the <code>&lt;channel&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;/channel&gt;</code> tags, the <code>&lt;title&gt;</code> tag will be used to label the feed as <strong>LandChad's Blog</strong>. The <code>&lt;description&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;link&gt;</code> tags are used for the description of the feed and a link to the corresponding webpage.
- </p>
-
-<table class=cnp>
- <tr>
- <td>
-<pre><code>&lt;channel&gt;
- &lt;title&gt;<strong>LandChad's Blog</strong>&lt;/title&gt;
- &lt;description&gt;<strong>LandChad's writings and ideas</strong>&lt;/description&gt;
- &lt;link&gt;<strong>https://example.org/blog</strong>&lt;/link&gt;
-&lt;/channel&gt;</code></pre>
- </td>
- <td>

- </td>
- </tr>
-</table>
-
- <h3>Feed Items</h3>
- <p>
- Now we will add items to the RSS feed. These items are listed in the user's feed reader and can represent different content on a page such as blog posts or videos. In this example, there is a blog post called <strong>RSS is Amazing!</strong>.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- The <code>&lt;item&gt;</code> tag is used to add items to the RSS feed. An item is given a title using the <code>&lt;title&gt;</code> tag to label the item. The item will have a link to its webpage using the <code>&lt;link&gt;</code> tag and an item description using the <code>&lt;description&gt;</code> tag.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- The date and time of an item can be specified using the <code>&lt;pubDate&gt;</code> tag. The date and time <strong>must follow a specific format</strong>. In the example below, the item was posted on <strong>Friday, October 1, 2021 at 2:27 PM in the -0400 time zone</strong>.
- </p>
-
-<table class=cnp>
- <tr>
- <td>
-<pre><code>&lt;item&gt;
- &lt;title&gt;<strong>RSS is Amazing!</strong>&lt;/title&gt;
- &lt;link&gt;<strong>https://example.org/blog/2021-10-1-rss</strong>&lt;/link&gt;
- &lt;description&gt;<strong>RSS is a good notification system.</strong>&lt;/description&gt;
- &lt;pubDate&gt;<strong>Fri, 1 Oct 2021 14:27:00 -0400</strong>&lt;/pubDate&gt;
-&lt;/item&gt;</code></pre>
