What is RSS feed

The term RSS is often used to refer to web feeds or web syndication in general. On the World Wide Web, a web feed (or news feed) is a data format used for providing users with frequently updated content. Content distributors syndicate a web feed, thereby allowing users to subscribe a channel to it. Making a collection of web feeds accessible in one spot is known as aggregation, which is performed by a news aggregator. A web feed is also sometimes referred to as a syndicated feed or RSS feed.

RSS, which stands for Rich Site Summary, is a commonly used format for publishing a “feed” of content from a website. Blog articles, press releases, updates, or other regularly updated content are all logical candidates for getting an RSS feed. While not as popular as these feeds were a few years ago, there is still value in turning this regularly updated website content into an RSS feed and making it available to your site’s visitors – and since it’s also pretty easy to create and add this feed, there is really no reason not to do so on your website.

You can add an RSS feed to an individual web page or even add it to every page in your website should that be what you decide to do. RSS enabled browsers will then see the link and allow readers to subscribe to your feed automatically. It also makes easier for other websites to link to our content. Because RSS feeds can easily be read by computers, it’s also easy for webmasters to configure their sites so that the latest headlines from another site’s RSS feed are embedded into their own pages, and updated automatically.

Additionally, search engines will see your RSS feed when it’s linked in the HTML of your site. Once you’ve created your RSS feed, you’ll want to link to it so your readers can find it.

What if You Do Not Find the RSS Feed

Most sites are built using a Content Management System, or CMS. Every major CMS offers an RSS feed by default, meaning an RSS exists for each site whether the site’s creators realize that or not. In these cases, Here’s a simple URL hack you can use.

Just type your favourite blog url/feed. like https://example.com/feed

Around 35 percent of sites are built using WordPress, for example. Many others are built on platforms like Google’s Blogger, Yahoo’s Tumblr, or Medium. Here’s how to find RSS feeds for all of those sites.

If a blog is built using WordPress, simply add /feed to the end of the URL, for example.https://example.wordpress.com/feed You can also do this for category and pages, to get specific RSS feeds. Find details here.
If a site is hosted on Blogger, simply add feeds/posts/default to the end of the URL, for example http://blogname.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default. Find details here.
If a blog is hosted on Medium.com, simply insert /feed/ before the publication’s name in the URL. For example medium.com/example-sitebecomes medium.com/feed/example-site. You can do the same thing for individual author pages, if you want. Find details here.
If a blog is hosted on Tumblr, simply add to/rss the end of the home page’s URL. For example, http://example.tumblr.com/rss.

Create a Custom RSS Feed With Five Filters’ Create Feed Tool

You can create Custom RSS feed from fivefilter.org using Feed Creator tool, which scan any webpage regularly and you can create any RSS feed. All you need is a URL and a few parameters. Here’s how it works

The first field, “Enter Page URL,” is the simplest: copy the URL for the site you wish had an RSS feed and paste it here. The second, “Look for links inside HTML elements whose id or class attribute contains” is a bit more complex, here I am showing you the actual process.

Now get back to the site you want to create an RSS feed, Google Chrome will give you the option to “Inspect” the link by right click; other browsers will also offer the similar option.

After clicking the “Inspect” option, a pop up will open at the right side of the chrome window showing all the code along the site URLs.

The link you right-click should be highlighted, as shown, and the class of the URL should be visible in a pop-up for the link and in the left panel, though this may vary depending on the site, it may be “entry-type” or anything else, but in our example here “fl-post-grid-title” is what we’re looking for. Copy this and paste it backinton the Feed Creator page.

The third and final field, “Only keep links if link URL contains,” gives you more control over your interest feeds. If you notice that only particular links to a particular page interest you, add some wording from that URL. This will filter you from unwanted feeds.

Once you fill all the options you required, click on the “Preview” button. (Big Green Button)
