Make a browser find your feed
These days, most any browser will auto-sense when a website contains an RSS feed. For example, when you landed on www.yebot.net, your browser probably found the feed and displayed a little orange icon (
) to alert you if you’re using Firefox.The time will come in any web developer’s existence that they will have to custom-build an RSS feed for a client. But simply writing the XML and linking to it from an HTML page isn’t enough to have a browser automagically find a feed.Add something like this to the head of your HTML and all will be well in the land.
