RSS is quickly becoming the standard choice for delivering syndicated web content. Have you ever wondered how some of the large content sites deliver their headlines? Or, have you ever wanted to display news headlines, but didn't want to display the standard "Content Provided By..." info? Or, have you ever wanted to syndicate your own content? RSS may be the answer you've been looking for.
RSS stands for Rich Site Summary. It is a XML format specifically designed to share content. Netscape originally developed RSS to drive channels for their Netscape Netcenter. Formerly known as RDF, RSS was developed in 1999 and has quickly evolved into the dominant format for syndicating content. Well-known sites such as, CNET, ZDNet, CNN, Wired and many more utilize this powerful means of dynamic content delivery.
Distributing your content using RSS will involve creating one file that contains your content. This file will reside on your server to enable other web sites to display your channel. You can update your channel simply by updating your file.
Once you've created your file you can submit it to web sites like Netscape to enable other web sites to subscribe.
Creating an RSS File
Note: Some email programs will be unable to view the coding within this article. You can view it online here: http://www.web-source.net/syndicate.htm
Your first step will be to identify your file. To do this, place the following code at the top of your text file.
Your next step will be to create your channel header. The "channel" tag indicates that you are beginning a new channel.
Web-Source.net Syndication< itle><br/><link>http://www.web-source.net/</link><br/><description>Web Development article syndication feeds!<br/></description><br/><language>en-us</language><br/><br/>The "title" tag indicates the name of your channel. The <br/>"link" tag will contain a link to your web site. The <br/>"description" tag describes your channel and the "language" <br/>tag indicates that you're writing in US English. <br/><br/>In addition to displaying text, you can also display a <br/>small logo. The image should be 88 pixels wide and 31 <br/>pixels high. Displaying an image is optional. If you're <br/>not going to include an image, skip this step.<br/><br/><image><br/><title>Web-Source< itle><br/><url>http://www.web-source.net/image.gif</url><br/><link>http://www.web-source.net/</link><br/><width>88</width><br/><height>31</height><br/><description>Web Design and Development</description><br/></image><br/><br/>Now, you're ready to create your headlines. Each new "item" <br/>tag represents a new topic. The rule of thumb is to <br/>include between five and fifteen items. You can include a <br/>description, but it isn't required.<br/><br/><item><br/><title>Moving Up From Classified Ads to Display Ad< itle><br/><link>http://www.web-source.net/biztipsfeed.htm</link><br/><description>Display ads are the standard advertising tool <br/>of print media.
