RSS/Atom/Feed Help - Newbie

[est1977]

Hi - I have a photo site and in order to be listed in many of the photo sites you need to have RSS/feed etc.. I am not at all sure how to do this. Can anyone help me or can I contact bluehost for help? Thanks.

create a new file named feed.xml and add this.

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<rss version="2.0">
    <channel>
        <title>TITLE OF FEED</title>
        <link>THIS SHOULD BE OBVIOUS</link>
        <description>DESCRIPTION OF THE FEED</description>
        <language>en-us</language>
     <item> 
        <image>
            <title>TITLE OF IMAGES</title>
            <url>ABSOULTE PATH TO IMAGE GOES HERE</url>
            <link>LINK TO PAGE WHERE THIS IMAGES IS VIEWED ON</link>
            <width>144 THIS CAN BE REMOVED IF YOU LIKE</width>
            <height>16 THIS CAN BE REMOVED IF YOU LIKE</height>
            <description>DESCRIPTION OF PIC, THIS CAN BE REMOVED IF YOU LIKE</description>
        </image>
     </item> 
     <item> 
       <image>
            <title>TITLE OF IMAGES</title>
            <url>ABSOULTE PATH TO IMAGE GOES HERE</url>
            <link>LINK TO PAGE WHERE THIS IMAGES IS VIEWED ON</link>
            <width>144 THIS CAN BE REMOVED IF YOU LIKE</width>
            <height>16 THIS CAN BE REMOVED IF YOU LIKE</height>
            <description>DESCRIPTION OF PIC, THIS CAN BE REMOVED IF YOU LIKE</description>
        </image>
     </item> 
     <item> 
        <image>
            <title>TITLE OF IMAGES</title>
            <url>ABSOULTE PATH TO IMAGE GOES HERE</url>
            <link>LINK TO PAGE WHERE THIS IMAGES IS VIEWED ON</link>
            <width>144 THIS CAN BE REMOVED IF YOU LIKE</width>
            <height>16 THIS CAN BE REMOVED IF YOU LIKE</height>
            <description>DESCRIPTION OF PIC, THIS CAN BE REMOVED IF YOU LIKE</description>

     </item> 
  </channel>
</rss>

This is an example of the images set up. To add more just insert this after the last </item>

<item> 
        <image>
            <title>TITLE OF IMAGES</title>
            <url>ABSOULTE PATH TO IMAGE GOES HERE</url>
            <link>LINK TO PAGE WHERE THIS IMAGES IS VIEWED ON</link>
            <width>144 THIS CAN BE REMOVED IF YOU LIKE</width>
            <height>16 THIS CAN BE REMOVED IF YOU LIKE</height>
            <description>DESCRIPTION OF PIC, THIS CAN BE REMOVED IF YOU LIKE</description>
        </image>
     </item>

Depending on the reader the user is using, it might not be able to render the IMAGES. That's not your fault but atleast you have a feed setup and it will default to the text link and still show the description if that should happen kind of like a alt tag in HTML. Hope this helps some.
