1.2.4.2 Creating RSS Feeds

RSS (Really Simple Syndication/Rich Site Summary) is a system by which Web sites can inform their Readers when the site is updated. Through this system a site can create a small file, called a Feed, containing information about the updated content. Readers can use Feed Readers to subscribe to the RSS system of the Web site. Feed readers access the site’s feed available at a particular URL, and display the content to readers who can remain informed of site changes—without visiting the site. Most feeds offer only a small part of the updated content, acting as an appetizer for the reader to visit the site to read all the content.

Blogger supports the RSS system, which is enabled by default. You can control the feed settings or disable it from the Site Feed link under the Settings tab. The site feed URL displayed on the page is the URL that feed readers need to be directed to to access your blog’s feeds. Under the Descriptions heading, you can choose to send entire blog posts to subscribers, or just a small part to whet their interest so that they visit your blog and read the rest. Akin to the user’s signature in an e-mail, an Article Footer is additional text appended to the content in the RSS feed. If you desire to insert an Article Footer, it can be done in the adjoining text box.

Blogger also allows you to add an Adsense (discussed elsewhere) text ad as an Article Footer.
