I want to make a my site RSS enabled, does anyone have an idea, how long should i put 1 "item" on the RSS list. What happend if i remove it before somebody hasn't dowload it? And what happend if it put an item in the list for to long? Is the RSS reader will get the same item twice?
Thanks
Can you be more explicit? language? type of site? etc.
Your RSS file should contain a list of your latest articles. You should not worry about how long they stay there or what a reader may or may not have read. Readers handle these things on their own.
So, i just put the latest info on the rss? and trash the old ones? as simple like that?
You just keep, for instance, your ten latest articles in the RSS file. You don't worry about what gets added or removed, just make sure the RSS file always has the ten (or however many you choose) latest ones.
This is now the general RSS thread. Use it to talk about everything RSS!
Can I rant about RSS being a retarded piece of shit for requiring the <author> element to contain an email address? Because, you know, everybody wants to make their email address available for mass consumption.
BTW, what is the escape code for XML? How i can enter text "<description>" in the <description></description> field?
