Enable auto-discovery of your RSS feed

Let aggregator services find your feed automatically. Just add one the following lines to your document header:

For RSS 2.0:

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Title of your feed (RSS 2.0)" href="url_of_feed.xml" />

For RSS 0.92:

<link rel="alternate" type="text/xml" title="Title of your feed (RSS .92)" href="url_of_feed.xml" />

And for Atom:

<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Title of your feed (Atom 0.3)" href="url_of_feed.xml" />

Now users won’t have to hunt for your feed’s URL when using an aggregator such as Kinja or Bloglines. They can just enter your site URL.
