Written for web developers who want to share their site with others or use the content other people are syndicating, this book overviews the most commonly used XML syndication standard, RDF site summary (RSS), which allows a portal to display headlines and URLs from other sites all within the same page. Hammersly, who is a British journalist, explains how to create an RSS feed, how to use RSS 1.0 modules, how to incorporate other RSS 0.9x feeds within a web site, and how to extend a desktop reader to understand a new module.
