very useful tip, I am implementing it in my blogs.
Excellent post, Stephen! I have to add my comments feed to be auto discovery enabled. I am sure that’ll give it a little boost in subscribers and may be increased interaction with my readers.
Stumbled!
Thiru, Thanks.
K, Every little bit helps, that’s my thinking. Thanks for the Stumble!
WOW. That sounds very cool features. I have never thought about the autodiscovery in RSS FEED.
Great job!
Hi Terence, to be honest I hadn’t thought about it either until I was writing the DualFeeds plugin. But it makes good sense to add it.
Thanks for the great article. My theme I was using already had it included, but its very good to know. I never realized how firefox and readers autodiscovered feeds until I actually looked at my header.php and saw it finally. I am leaving my comments feed off of autodiscovery, but the posts feed will remain and be discovered.
Thank you for these valuable information, you discuss how to make feed, I am looking for an article or information about places that can view my feed, and how can I get the best exposure from my feed.
Great post. I am amazed how many people never check and see if they are using rss feed or auto discovery is being used. The idea of having mutiple ones listed is another great point.
Great tips i did not know you could use dual feeds and have automatic discovery for more than one. I like the idea of giving people a choice of full post or summary.
WordPress is helping with this automatically, but since I modified the default theme to my end, I lost track of this, but soon I figured out how to do it! This is very important as in many programs like entrecard, they look for your feed through that and if it is not working then you lose the traffic you might have gotten through the feed!
I guess the same could be said about placing the subribe to my feed button on your blog. Some sites place it at the bottom of the page and sometimes it is only a simple text link. That is making it far harder to subscribe. If oyu have a prominent noticable button at the top of your page then it is just as good.
A well placed rss button is a lot more effective than this although I guess every little bit helps. thanks for the tip.
I never even look at that anymore. I look at the rss feed they use if i like the site. I guess it would help get more people to subscribe to your feed but not sure how many more.
Interesting post. Although I knew about this feature of web browsers I had never take it into account. I have to implement this auto discovery code in my web site. Thanks for a useful article!
