Create RSS Feed by Arun Agrawal



RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. Some people claim it is Rich Site
Syndication.
This is a simple system by which you provide indexed information about some content
that you have, in a structured manner. It is up to the user to use this information in any way that he wants. You can syndicate your articles, newsletters, press releases or any other information that is published frequently.
The user may see the index in a suitable viewer called RSS aggregator or reader, display the contents on a web page, or use it in any other way he thinks fit.
There are 2 main components of a RSS feed.
1.The channel information (one per feed) The item information (many per feed)
Example – You may create a RSS feed about all articles on your web site.
2.Then the channel will contain information about the feed (“Read articles on various subjects”), the location (web site address or URL) and a short description.
There will be multiple items in the RSS Feed. Each item will have information about one article (the title, author, category, short description and the URL where the article may be found).
As you will see for yourself, RSS is really simple :)
