Keeping users up to date with RSS

Introduction

Sample

When adding a new item to an RSS feed, make sure you increment the GUID, so that RSS clients can tell that a new item was added since the last check. Using a GUID is a safer approach than relying on the Title section, since titles are not guaranteed to be unique.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<rss version="2.0">
    <channel>
   
        <title>My Dummy Channel</title>
        <link>http://www.acme.com/rss.xml</link>
        <description>Some dummy channel</description>
 
        <item>
            <title>Test</title>
            <link>http://www.acme.com/article.php?123</link>
            <description>A basic description</description>
            <guid isPermaLink="false">123</guid>
        </item>
       
    </channel>
</rss>
