Hello Warriors,

Hope this question is in the right place.

I'm building a site for the first time using Dreamweaver. I want to create an RSS feed for my visitors to subscribe to but have no idea how to do it.

I've done a search but most of the entries are for installing feeds on your site with content from other websites. What I need to know is how to make an RSS feed available to my visitors with my content.

I am not very good at the tech stuff so please go slow in explaining what I need to do.

Thanks in advcance for your help!

Eunice

    RSS is rarely used with static HTML pages as far as I know.
    Mostly used on blogs/forums/CMSes.

    Createing an RSS Feed

    RSS feeds are created in XML. Feeds can be created using tags that are enclosed in brackets <> very similar to HTML.
    Software to Create Feeds
    If you are not as confident and would like software to create the feed I strongly recommend FeedForAll an extremely easy to use feed creation tool that allows webmasters to create, edit and publish rss feeds.
    If you want to create an RSS feed using a text editor a step by step walk-through at Make RSS Feeds will help.
    Online Feed Creation Tools
    If you just wish to create a single feed and do not need to edit or update the feed you can use an online feed creation tool.
    GoArticles - Syndicate articles appearing on GoArticles a large article repository.
    BlogStreet - online feed creation tool, only works for blogs hosted on BlogStreet

    I have a program you can use to test your rss links. It is at land-of-os.com/rsstest/ . Something I put together to test links before I added them to any of my websites.

    I have had a lot of trouble with bad links taking all my time. I make make this into a regular product later on.

    If you check out this site, simplepie.org then you will find all the essentials you will need to learn about RSS, among others. There is a huge list of demos that you can view and downloads that will help you practice your RSS or use as a baseline comparison with the work that youve done.
