Syndicate this Site!
Sunday June 24, 2007
It's easy to get the About.com Web Design / HTML site delivered right to you with RSS syndication. You can read it in a newsreader or post it directly to your Web site. And this article will show you how to syndicate any RSS feed.
But many people don't really know what RSS and syndication is. And yet, some people think that RSS will kill email newsletters.
Do you read this site in an RSS reader?

- Yes, I read it every day via RSS
- Yes, but only the headlines that interest me
- It's in my reader, but I forget to read it
- No, I don't subscribe to this feed
- I didn't know Web Design / HTML had a feed
- What is RSS?
I think the thing I find most difficult about RSS is that there are so many sites out there to read. Do you get overwhelmed by the number of sites in your newsreader? Or is RSS just another technology that you do or don't have time for?

I read the RSS feed on my S60 phone with Opera for mobile and Google reader. Your articles are a great read.
More and more blogs are giving the complete articles, instead of a “teaser”. It is nice, especially on a phone, because you don’t have to load the whole website with all the images and it will save on your data bundle.
Could it be possible for the Web Design / HTML site to turn on complete articles in the RSS feed?

I’d like to see more articles about both rss and xml.
Legal and technical requirements for incorporating other sites rss feeds as website content.
How to convert rss or any xml document into xhtml or html.
How to build your own xml feed and distribute it to other websites, especially custom xml into javascript.

I don’t know whether About.com would do that or not. But even if they did change the way the RSS was delivered you wouldn’t get the full articles in the RSS - because they aren’t written in the blog.
Our articles are written in a separate CMS that is not associated with the blog. The blog is then used to promote and talk about the articles and other things of interest to Web Designers.
I read the feeds on a regular basis and recommend your newsletter to all my web design friends. The information you provide is a valuable tool to keeping current with the ever changing world of technology as it relates to the web.
I do have a suggestion for an article if its not been done already … my RSS feeds are mostly done via Word Press blogs, which I think are awesome. How does one add RSS to a website generated through DW? Is there a tool out there to make adding RSS easier? I understand what it does but am not a techie and any type of programming is challenging to me.
Thanks for your great advice, resources and help in staying current. I am a Jennifer Kyrnin fan!
