RSS feeds? [solved]

Post by Amtekoth »

This has probably been answered before, but can we set up RSS feeds for our comics?

How? I'm not a code monkey, so I know very little about the whole process.

Is there a way to auto-update the feed easily or do we need to recode every time we update?

Thanks,

Ed

All comics have an automatic RSS feed located at yourname.comicgenesis.com/rss.xml

It automatically updates, but there has been some some discussion on customizing it.

So how would I set up a button that allowed people to easily add my comic to their RSS feeds?

Thanks,

What I did was simply have an image that said "RSS" and then linked to the RSS. So, in HTML, it goes something like:

<A href="/rss.xml"><IMG src="images/rss.jpg" border="0"></A>

And you can change whatever need be, like the location of things and the extension and name of your image. Then, depending on the browser, when people see it, there will probably appear a link on the rss page allowing them to add it to their list of feeds. People may have other means of doing so, like Google Reader, but as long as they have the link to get to your RSS they should be able to subscribe to it no problem.
