Your RSS feeds will be consulted all the more as Internet users will be able to access them by the most usual means offered by their browser or aggregator.

Goal

  • Allow browsers to indicate, in their interfaces, the presence of a syndication feed associated with the current page.

Implementation

Indicate the RSS feed in the head section of the page, using a link element of the type:

<link title="Best practice of the day" href="https://checklists.opquast.com/dailybp/feed" type="application/rss+xml" rel="alternate">.

Control

In the source code of the website pages:

  • Identify the different syndication threads;
  • Check, using Firebug for example, for the appropriate link element (type="application/rss+xml") in the HTML page header;
  • Check that the URL address in the link element displays RSS content.
