RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication and RSS allows you to syndicate or share your site content more easily. RSS is written in Extensible Markup Language (XML).

A simple way to create an RSS feed is to use the basic code below. Copy it into a plain text editor and save it with the extension .xml.

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<rss version="2.0">
<channel>
<title>Channel Title Here</title>
<description>Channel Description Here</description>
<link>http://www.acuras.co.uk/articles</link>

</item>
<item>
<title>Item 2 Title Here</title>
<link>http://www.domain.com/folder/article2.html</link>
</item>
