How to create a channel?

To create a RSS news channel that lists the various articles on your site or in your e-mail newsletter, you have several choices:

  • Construct it from scratch in Notepad (easy in some cases but not efficient in the long run eg. when the people working on it are not able to edit XML)
  • Prepare the feed from a stand-alone tool such as RSS Channel Editor. (example)
  • Have a software tool "scrape" the site and incorporate the most important information it finds there
  • Exploit your Content Management System if the contents of your website are managed this way: CMSs usually have functionalities for exporting contents to RSS or your webmaster can easily write a function to read all contents and create an RSS output
