Obiously I gave up [ as a one man company ] to implement my own blog @ ics, as said, this is not a feature to implement and let run on its own, as a considerable staff structure for projecting and following up users is duly required ...then you are supposed to master a bit of html and javascript and php and xml and rdf and rss and and and ... ! So getting back to my website marketing here are a few tips that I can resume from my personal trials : - RDF & RSS are part of XML their use is done by the blog-ip . . . in this present case by http://www.blogger.com , by activating these codes : [ settings - Add your Blog to our listings? ]
you are deciding to let your writings be classified as stated into your blog editing [ rdf ] and you are permitting, by enabling [ rss ] to web syndicating search engine to fetch your data and redeliver them in order to be retrieved somewhere else, where your content may be required.
This works out as a newsletter reversed subscription.
Suppose You are interested in my Website Marketing Theme and I have announced to keep on blogging this argument, you may use this feature to keep yourself updated on any new line or new article that I add to my blog.
This features basicly a detecting frame that monitors the internet blogs.
So this feature is for the end user to be mastered, all you have to do, as a blog holder, is just to choose to set your content available for serch scanning by selecting "Yes" in the form of your blog setting [ settings - Add your Blog to our listings? ]
The end user needs to download an rss reader such as :
FeedReader26B640Setup.exe
...then past the feed url into a File > New > External feed Window or by pressing shortcut [F2] in the case you are using the FeedReader program [FeedReader26B640Setup.exe].
In the case of www.blogger.com the feed url will be :
www.blogger.com/atom.xml
while in the case he finds an rss button on the blog he wants to monitor, then the url will be the one he sees into the navigation bar of his browser after he clicks on such a button, see e.g. :
[my blog @ Excite] http://blobs.blog.excite.it/

XML - FEED - KNOWLEDGE [ http://ics-php.blogspot.com/ ] [ ...no substantial modification was done by requoting this article ] 15 Ways ToRead An RSS Feed By Steve Shaw (c) 2004 No doubt you have seen those small orange 'XML' or 'RSS' buttons beginning to spread across some of your favourite web sites. Perhaps you have clicked on one out of curiosity, only to be faced with a barrage of angle brackets and undecipherable code, seemingly designed to scare the heck out of anyone less than familiar with the intricacies of this new fangled technology creeping across the web. But once you clïck on that button - what do you do then? This article will show you exactly what to do. RSS? It's actually Really Simple, Stupid. The first thing to do of course is clïck that button. It may be an orange button with 'XML' or 'RSS' written across it; or you could see the word 'Atom'; or, less commonly, it could be blue with maybe the initials 'RDF'; or it could be a simple link with something like 'Grab My Feed'. Gets confusing, doesn't it? But what the acronyms like XML and RSS actually stand for is less than important - what to do after clicking the button is the important bit. After clicking the button, you will see all that code - if you have ever viewed the source code to a web page, it looks a little similar. RSS is just another language of the web, but you can actually completely ignore the code itself, just like you can ignore the source code behind web pages that you visit - you are only interested in the end product that the code is designed to produce for you, the end user. In the case of RSS, that end product is up-to-date news on the topics you are interested in. For example, if you want to keep up to date with the latest information on financial markets, or growing marigolds, or your Aunt Mildred's blog as she travels across the Antarctic, and you see a feed on that particular topic, you can 'subscribe' to it and receive messages via the feed, each time the publisher of the feed updates it. So how do you 'subscribe' to an RSS feed? The important bit is what is in the browser address (or location) bar after clicking the feed button, i.e. the bit at the top of your browser window that usually starts with 'http://...' and tells you the web address of the page you are visiting. After clicking the RSS (or XML, etc.) button, you need to copy that address - it's that address that you need to 'plug' into what is generally known as a 'news reader'. News readers allow you to keep updated with the feeds that you are subscribed to. There are several to choose from - some involve downloading some software, some involve visiting a web site, some are frëe, and some require a small investment. Once you have chosen a particular news reader, you simply take that address that you have copied, and, following the instructions provided with the news reader to subscribe to, or add a new feed, simply paste it in - the reader will take care of the rest, and keep you updated with your new feed. Once you have done it once, you will see just how simple it really is. Below are 15 different news readers you can choose from, in approximate order of recommendation under each category: Browser-Based: - BlogLines - AmphetaDesk - NewsIsFree Software For Windows: - NewsGator - integrates into Microsoft Outlook - FeedDemon - Awasu - SharpReader - FeedReader - NewsWatcher - NewsRanker - claims to learn from your news reading to prioritize the feed items you receive. - Novobot - extracts headlines from feeds, and also web sites that you are interested in. - Radio Userland - blogging tool with an integrated news aggregator.
