Tip: RSS and Feed Discovery / Live Bookmarks
I see a lot of blogs and sites with RSS feeds now, which is great. Many are starting to use the common feed icon instead of their own, or combinations of XML, ATOM, RSS, Feed and so on.
You may notice on some blogs that in Firefox a little RSS icon appears in the address bar, and the RSS icon in Internet Explorer 7 will light up on certain pages. This is done by placing a line of code in the <head> of your layout.
<link rel=“alternate” type=“application/rss+xml” title=“RSS 2.0″ href=“http://james.webkanix.com/feed/” />
That’s it. Replace the values with your own and check it out. Visitors won’t have to check footers, side navigation and content for the feed - it’s right there for the taking.
