Get yourself RSS

[Jeff Wheeler]

People, when you have a site, make RSS feeds for it. You will get more traffic. I for one, will probably never go back to your site if you don't post and have rss feeds. I track 130+ through RSS and Bloglines. There is no way I can go to your site often and check for updates.

So always make yourself an RSS feed. If you don't know how, I'll help you. Just im me. Most of you already know my sn's, or can look at my profile page.

RSS feeds are cool.. but If you don't look everyday.. You'll still be mising out.. It can't track alll the update's just the last 10 or something.

[Jeff Wheeler]

If you leave your feedreader running it can ;). That's one advantage of Bloglines.

And, most sites don't publish ten times a day. Also, if they do, they usually have more than ten posts in their feeds.

Why can't it track more than the last 10 updates?

[Jeff Wheeler]

because it's just like the homepage. It just shows the last things. Mostly you leave readers running though and it gets everything. Also, if somebody is going to update their site a lot, they usually have more than 10 items (it can be any number the author chooses...), take Engadget for example - they have 40 items in their newsfeed.

Here is a good link to help out: http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2002/12/18/dive-into-xml.html

This is actually a useful thing. The forums have had their own RSS feed for a while, and I think it was m64/Johnny who created a Klip for Klipfolio using that.

It lets you see the latest news on a site. And if Kirupa has it, I would thank the (one I don't believe in) Lord!
