Every day more and more Web sites, blogs and news services add content RSS. RSS is a method of organizing content.The concept of adding content in a central location or repository is very attractive. Consumers have tired of push technology, RSS allows users the flexibility needed to regain control of their content. RSS feed creators provide content without forcing consumers. In fact with RSS consumers can choose the content who wish to see.
How to make an RSS Feed
RSS feeds contain what it refers to "elements". The elements are usually connected in some way and contain a common theme or other similarity.
If you want to save the headache have at hand a source code RSS consider using FeedForAll, a software application easy to use that XML formats for you.
At the time of writing the following http://www.notepage.net/feed.xml food contains eight elements. The elements are all SM and related news from paging articles that would likely benefit someone interested in the wireless market.
Each element contains:
The title and description should be written to describe the content and the link must refer to the Web page that contains the actual content.
As html, the xml file uses opening and closing tags to denote the title, description and link. Tags brackets <>, as in the standard html and the close tag contains a forward slash /.
The following is the aspect of an element in an xml file:

As I mentioned earlier, an RSS feed contains items and previous labels, an opening and closing tag is used to distinguish between elements.

http://www.anotherlinkgoeshere.com
An RSS feed is now a series of elements, these elements are connected together to create what is called a "channel".
The channel appears at the top of the file and tells the people how they relate each other elements. As channels use title, description and link tags to describe your content. The label of open channel

http://www.linkgoeshere.com
http://www.anotherlinkgoeshere.com
Finally should refer to the file indicating is an XML file through the inclusion of xml and rss define the start and end tags.

To save the file, be sure to save as an xml file.
Warning
If it creates the file through Dreamweaver or a similar tool becareful not throwing labels which are redundant. In order to be a RSS channel file needs the bare minimum that tags discussed above and the file will not be valid if removed tags out.
I found a small free cool helped in the creation of xml called object http://www.firstobject.com/ first Editor files
Validation
As my use of math teacher say, check the work! Once the file is complete and loaded with einter in http://feedvalidator.org feed validator
Syndication / presentation
If you've done that now is in good shape it is time to "syndicate" their content! Submit your feed (the xml file you created) RSS sites as it will present a web page. Some of the most popular sites that accept RSS files can be found under "Post rss Feed"
