F.A.Q.

A: RSS is a method for getting and sending news and information. You can subscribe to an RSS feed and have the latest news and information sent to your RSS reader program. The RSS reader program will alert you when there is new information for you to read.

A: Required elements are "Title", "Link"(Root URL) and "Description". All other elements are optional.

A: RSS Channel Writer saves generated RSS feed in RSS 2.0 version. RSS Channel writer doesn't support RSS 0.91, 0.9, 1.0 or 1.1.

A: WAI has highlights on the home page of upcoming meetings and recently released documents. WAI highlights are available in RSS so that your RSS reader will alert you when there are new highlights, rather than having to check the WAI home page yourself. The title, text of the highlight, and a link to the highlight on the home page are provided in the RSS feed.

A: Several RSS feeds can be loaded into your RSS program. The RSS reader will alert you when new content is available on any of your feeds. This can save your time from having to check multiple sites regularly, to find that that there is no new information available or that the new information is of no interest to you. When your RSS reader alerts you of new content, you get to choose whether you want to go to the site for more information.

A: Below are general instructions for subscribing to an RSS feed. Your reader might be different. For specific instructions and options, see your RSS reader's help documentation.

1. Click on the "RSS WAI Highlights" at the top of the page
2. Copy the address (URI) of the feed from your browser's address field
3. Paste the address (URI) of the RSS file into your RSS reader program.
4. Click Subscribe

A: List of news aggregators - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

A: The acronym means something different depending on which specification the RSS file uses. WAI uses RDF Site Summary as the specification for its RSS feed.

• Rich Site Summary (RSS 0.91)
• RDF Site Summary (RSS 0.9, 1.0 and 1.1)
• Really Simple Syndication (RSS 2.0)

A: After you created your RSS feed you should insert in all of your pages in "HEAD" tag the following line:

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS" href="/rss.xml" />

Where title is your RSS title and "rss.xml" is your RSS file name. You should change it with the file name that you saved. Then upload your RSS file to your web server with RSS Channel Writer Upload tool and then ping RSS to RSS servers with RSS Channel Writer Ping tool.
