RSS Feeds: The Format That Never Went Away
RSS is the quiet plumbing of the web. Learn the channel fields and how a feed item is structured.
What is the RSS Feed Generator?
An RSS feed lets readers follow your site in a feed reader. This generator builds a standard RSS 2.0 channel from your site details and one sample item.
How to use it
- Enter feed title, site URL and description.
- Add a first item title.
- Click Generate and save as feed.xml.
Worked example
A site title, link and one item produce a valid feed skeleton to extend.
Is RSS dead?
Almost none. RSS survives because feed readers, newsletters and aggregators still consume it widely.
Frequently asked questions
Where does the feed live?
Commonly at /feed.xml or /rss.xml, linked with an alternate link tag.
How do readers find it?
Through the feed link on your site or by adding the feed URL to their reader.
