Dynamic Web Development Using RSS Feeds

(No Ratings Yet)

Filed under: About Web Design by Dan @ 9:54 am

RSS feeds have become something of an Internet phenomenon, especially since they have become heavily associated with blogging and web 2.0 applications. As well as being able to offer RSS feeds to readers and being able to keep abreast of the latest syndicated content from specific channels, RSS feeds also have a place in web development. They can be displayed on the pages of your own site giving readers greater resource for a particular topic.

Using server side scripting, rather than client side scripting, enables search engine spiders to be able to effectively crawl and index the content of RSS feeds displayed on your site. Client side feeds can still be updated on your site and read by visitors but the feed details will be displayed to the search engine spiders rather than the actual textual content of the feed.

Even before embarking on web development to display RSS feeds you should ensure that your web host offers PHP support because this will facilitate easier web development for these purposes. Choosing some hosts that use the more advanced control panels or interfaces may even allow you to add your own feeds.

Find relevant websites that regularly release high quality content and offer an RSS feed. If you are actively involved in the online communities that are relevant to your own website you should have an equally good understanding of the more beneficial sites within your industry. Using RSS feeds with freshly updated, relevant content is a sure fire way of attracting new customers and providing them with relevant information.

    Basically, RSS feeds helps the readers to get right information about the website like the theme of the site and contents the site has. RSS feeds also have a place in web development. They can be displayed on the pages of your own site giving readers greater resource for a particular topic.

    The acronym RSS commonly stands for ‘Really Simple Syndication’. Websites offering RSS feeds will generally have an orange rectangle logo, reading XML or RSS. RSS feeds can easily be added to an RSS reader, which is the required medium for viewing the feeds. The information is pulled by the reader from the user, instead of being pushed like email newsletters, subsequently providing the subscriber with a summary and link to the desired article.
