Implementing RSS - The Easy Way
The most frequent question I get asked if “What is the easiest way for me to implement an RSS feed on my website without spending a fortune on web developers?” And the answer is, “Create a blog”.
A blog is your quickest, easiest and least complicated way to get started with RSS. Why? Almost all of the mainstream blogging platforms create an RSS feed automatically for you as you add new content. The only technical experience you might need for blogging would be installing the software on your web server. And sometimes you don’t even need to even that because most of the reputable web hosting companies offer one-click blog installations from your control panel with your hosting package.
Blogging has become an extremely popular method for individuals to express themselves and post their thoughts and opinions online. However, the blogosphere is starting to change this year as more mainstream companies are launching their own blogs as a means to communicate and gather feedback from their customers.
If the idea of a blog ‘offends’ you or does not fit into your vision then don’t use the word ‘blog’ on your website and don’t call it a blog either. There are many free templates available that will enable you to completely change the look and feel of the blogging software. All you need to do is install one of these blogging packages, find the right template that suit your needs and take advantage of the technology to publish your RSS feed.
