Making your own RSS feed - Tutorials, Articles, SEO, CMS, MySQL

You want to make your OWN RSS Feed? I was googling and found: http://www.petefreitag.com.

I used it to make my very own RSS Feed at http://nscportal.uni.cc I will show you the tutorial on how to make the RSS Feed and how to make your Browser Detect that RSS Feed which the tutorial does not show =D
I will make this first part short and sweet and to the point, I will try to be as clear as I can ;)
Open up your Favorite Text Editor(NotePad2 is good) and put this code in it:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<rss version="2.0">
<channel>
<title>TITLE OF YOUR RSS FEED</title>
<link>LINK TO YOUR SITE</link>
<description>DESCRIPTION OF YOUR RSS FEED</description>
<lastBuildDate>LAST TIME UPDATED - LOOK BELOW FOR FORMAT</lastBuildDate>
<language>en-us</language>
<item>
<title>TITLE OF ITEM</title>
<link>LINK TO ITEM</link>
<guid>LINK TO ITEM</guid>
<pubDate>THE PUBLISH DATE - SAME FORMAT AS LASTBUILDDATE</pubDate>
<description>THE DESCRIPTION OF THE ITEM</description>
</item>

</channel>
</rss>

Here is the Time Format:
Mon, 12 Sep 2005 18:37:00 GMT

Example: The Day of the Week Abreviated with the first 3 letters, then Day of the Week(If it is the first put in 01, the second 02 but in double digits you dont add the zero so if it is the 23 you just put in 23), The first three letters of the Month, The Year, The Time(If it is 1 am put 01:00:00 GMT, and so on)(If it is the afternoon say 1 PM you do 13:00:00 GMT)(Timezones: You can Choose your timezone and it will recacluate back to GMT so if you are GMT +8 you would instead of GMT Put +0800, If you are GMT -8 you would do -0800, in that fashin ;))

Now save that code above that you edited as rss.xml then upload the file to your Root Directory.

Here is the part not in the original tutorial! Making browsers Detect the RSS Feed and Making things such as FeedBurner detect them. It is Super easy. Open up your index.html, index.php or whatever it may be and all the other pages you want the browsers to detect the RSS Feed and put in this simple code into your <HEAD> Tags:

Save them upload them and go to http://feedvalidator.org and type in your URL and it should validate. Then Enjoy your own RSS Feed :D
