RSS Feed Auto Discovery is a technique that allows browsers and other software to discover your site’s RSS Feed automatically. RSS Auto Discovery is now supported by all of the major browsers (IE 7, FireFox, Apple Safari, Opera…). So take the time now to implement the small snippet of code to allow your site’s RSS feed to be discovered. You maybe asking how do you do this to your own site… it is simple.
Add this html code inbetween the HEAD tags:
<link rel=“alternate” type=“application/rss+xml” title=”YOUR RSS FEED NAME“ href=“http://www.yourdomain.com/feed.rss”>
If you are using ATOM instead of RSS your link should look like this:
<link rel=“alternate” type=“application/atom+xml” title=“YOUR RSS FEED NAME” href=”http://www.yourdomain.com/atom.xml”>
