RSS Feeds? [solved]

Post by [geoduck] »

I've never messed around with RSS feeds, but I know they are popular. Is there an approved/best procedure for adding one to our sites here at CG?

Consider using RSSpect.com. It gives you more control than the built in one, plus cool stuff like mailing lists.

Cool, that link works when I stick in Labbratz. But how do you get the little rss button to show on your site?

Thanks,

More fun than you should ever have in a laboratory. We are not related to the Bratz toy line owned by MGA.

What I ended up doing was copying the image off another site and posting it on mine as a clickable link. There may be a more elegant method.

Or if you mean so that it pops up in the address bar of a visitor's browser, you add the following inside your page's <HEAD> tags:

Code: Select all

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="YOUR COMIC'S NAME - RSS" href="http://yourcomicsname.comicgen.com/rss.xml" />
