Generating Syndication Feeds for your site
RSS, or Really Simple Syndication, is a technical format that allows online publishers to share and distribute their content to other websites or individual Internet users.

When a new article is posted or a change made to a webpage, RSS keeps track of the changes and delivers them to the subscriber. RSS feeds are most often attached to text, images, podcasts and video.

To create RSS feeds for your site, you have variety of options. Lets explore them.

  1. RSS Builder
  2. FeedForAll
