Implementing RSS - Really Simple Syndication
can be aided by an understanding of the terms relating to
RSS. Learn the ABCs of RSS....
A - AutoDiscovery
Auto Discovery is code that is inserted into the header of
an HTML web page, which then indicates to readers that an
RSS feed is available for the content.
B - Blogs
Blogs are web logs that are updated regularly, usually on
a daily basis. Blogs generally contain information related
to a specific topic. In some cases, blogs are used as daily
diaries about people's personal lives, political views, or
even as social commentaries. The truth of the matter is that
blogs can be shaped into whatever the author wants them to
be. While initially thought of as diaries or online journals,
blogs have evolved into the latest fresh web content.
C - Cache
Cache is a temporary storage area for frequently-accessed
or recently-accessed data. Having certain data stored in a
cache area speeds up the operation of the computer. Using
a cache with RSS feeds will help minimize bandwidth and display
an RSS feed's content quicker.

How is Podcasting Used? |
05/29/2012

Although podcasting is new, it is well on its
way to becoming a mainstream communication medium. Podcasting,
simply put, is audio files that are delivered via RSS. Many
people believe that podcasting is solely for the distribution
of music files, but really, nothing could be further from
the truth. This emerging method of audio file distribution
has opened an array of marketing and communication opportunities
to businesses. Currently, most who are familiar with podcasting
are technically savvy, but it is clear that podcasting will
be more than a passing fad as many businesses are adopting
podcasting and employing it in unusual yet powerful ways.
Podcasting can be used for talk shows, tutorials, music demos,
educational training, stories, comedy clips, debates or even
foreign language tutorials.

Blogs are the current rage, and many webmasters
have blogs but fail to use their blog to it is full potential.
Blogs provide a steady stream of fresh content, and if this
content is written and managed properly, blogs have the ability
to increase a website's ranking in the search engines.
1. Host Your Own Blog
In order to prosper from a blog, be sure to host it on your
own domain. Hosting the blog on your own server will maximize
the links to your website. Link popularity is one of the factors
search engines use to rank websites. Resist the urge to use
free hosting services, do not give away your link popularity

What Can Be Published Using RSS? |
05/26/2012
|
|
With all the vast amounts of information available
on the web, it is becoming more and more difficult to sort
through and find what you are looking for. RSS significantly
lowers the signal-to-noise ratio. RSS has the unique ability
to compile information and filter it, so you only see unique
and relevant content. The information superhighway has become
packed with content, and those familiar with technology are
using RSS to filter the content, allowing them to drill down
and access only the content they want, without having to wade
through all the noise.
There are very few subjects or topics that do not currently
have an RSS feed available. Perhaps it might be easier to
ask what can not be published using RSS? RSS is a standard
format to syndicate Internet content, not just blogs or podcasts,
but any type of content.

What is Podcasting? |
05/25/2012
|
|
Podcasting is quickly becoming a buzz word among
the techie crowd. So what is podcasting, anyway? Podcasting
is online audio content that is delivered via an RSS feed.
Many people liken podcasting to radio on demand. However,
in reality, podcasting gives far more options in terms of
content and programming than radio does. In addition, with
Podcasting, listeners can determine the time and the place,
meaning they decide what programming they want to receive
and when they want to listen to it.
Listeners can retain audio archives to listen to at their
leisure. While blogs have turned many bloggers into journalists,
podcasting has the potential to turn podcasters into radio
personalities.

Blog Post Ideas |
05/23/2012

The best blogs and feeds are those that contain
unique, fresh, compelling, content. So where do these prolific
posters get their ideas? I talked to a handful of bloggers
to determine where their inspiration originated for their
content.
Not surprisingly, ideas for blog posts or RSS feed items originate
or are influenced by other web content. The following are
venues for finding your online muse:
1.Google News
Monitor Google News for keywords related to your industry.
If you find a story you disagree with or wholeheartedly agree
with write about it. Add your thoughts, and editorialize the
content. This does not mean you should just repost Google
news summaries. The value is not only in the news aggregation,
but in the commentary that you provide. Tie news items to
specific events, conditions, or the impact of specific news
on the industry. Adding a view point or reference to a news
article adds genuine value.

Top Deadly Web Design Sins |
05/22/2012
|
|
Many webmasters repeat the mistakes made by
their predecessors. Take a look at these Top 10 most common
web design sins. Have you fallen victim to any of these?
Sin #1 - Using Techie-Speak
Many websites fail to communicate in terms that website visitors
can understand. Set the technical jargon aside, and use simple
language and words that will be easy for your audience to
understand. Web copy should be written in simple terms. Also,
keep in mind that the Internet audience is global, and using
language that is more common and easy to comprehend will often
expand your reach, even to include non-native speakers.

Display an RSS feed within your HTML website.
The easiest/best way to do this is to use RSS2HTML a free
PHP script. This means that you can retain the complete control
of the HTML layout using templates and make it match your
existing design. Additionally using PHP rather than JavaScript
will mean that search engine spiders can spider the
contents of the RSS feeds.
Additional details and a free rss2html download is available
