WHAT IS RSS?
What is RSS?
RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication". It is a way to easily distribute a list of headlines, update notices, and sometimes content to a wide number of people. It is used by computer programs that organize those headlines and notices for easy reading.
RSS is usually written in XML (eXtensible Markup Language) and is why we see RSS feed buttons mostly labeled with this icon:
What we were doing in odler days to keep track of updates on a website was to ‘bookmark’ websites in our browser and manually return to them on a regular basis to see what update had been added.
The problems with keeping track of updates, or BOOKMARKING are,- You have to do all the tracking and work.
- Sometimes ti gets complicated when you are trying to track many websites.
- When you forget to check your bookmarks you may miss needed information.
- You end up seeing the same information over and over again on sites that don’t update very often
People are interested in many websites whose content changes without a fixed frequency, like, news sites, community pages, product info pages, medical websites, and blogs. You have to check repeatedly to see if there is any new content and this can be very tedious.
Email notification of changes was an early solution to this problem. Unfortunately, when you receive email notifications from multiple websites they are usually disorganized and can get overwhelming, and are often mistaken for spam.
RSS is a better way to be notified of new and changed content. Notifications of changes to multiple websites are handled easily, and the results are presented to you well organized and distinct from email.
How does RSS work?
RSS works by having the website admins maintain a list of updates on their website in a standard way. This list of notifications is called an "RSS Feed". People who are interested in finding out the latest headlines or changes can check this list.
Special computer programs called "RSS aggregators" have been developed that automatically access the RSS feeds of websites you care about on your behalf and organize the results for you. (RSS feeds and aggregators are also sometimes called "RSS Channels" and "RSS Readers".)
Producing an RSS feed is very simple and hundreds of thousands of websites now provide this feature, including major news organizations like the New York Times, the BBC, and Reuters, as well as many weblogs.
What information does RSS provide?
RSS provides very basic information to do its notification. It is made up of a list of items presented in order from newest to oldest. Each item usually consists of a simple title describing the item along with a more complete description and a link to a web page with the actual information being described. Sometimes this description is the full information you want to read (such as the content of a weblog post) and sometimes it is just a summary.
For example, the RSS information for headlines on a local news website could contain the following information:
The RSS information is placed into a single file on a website in a manner similar to normal web pages. However, the information is coded in the XML computer language for use by a program (the RSS aggregator) and not by a person like a normal web page.
What Is an RSS Reader?
An RSS reader is a small software program that collects and displays RSS feeds. It allows you to scan headlines from a number of news sources in a central location.
RSS Aggregator Programs
Think of an RSS aggregator as just a web browser for RSS content. RSS aggregators automatically check a series of RSS feeds for new items on an ongoing basis, making it is possible to keep track of changes to multiple websites without needing to tediously read and re-read each of the websites yourself. They detect the additions and present them all together to you in a compact and useful manner. If the title and description of an item are of interest, the link can be used to quickly bring the related web page up for reading.
Here is a screen shot of an RSS aggregator in action. On the left is a list of the RSS feeds being monitored, along with an indication of the number of unread items in each feed in parenthesis. On the right are the details of the most recent items in a selected RSS feed (in this case, the Macintosh > Apple).
There are many RSS aggregators available. Some are accessed through a browser, some are integrated into email programs, and some run as a standalone application on your personal computer.
Where Can I Get an RSS Reader?
Some browsers, such as the current versions of Firefox and Safari have built in RSS readers. If you're using a browser that doesn't currently support RSS, there are a variety of RSS readers available on the web; some are free to download and others are available for purchase.
There are many feed readers going around with a variety of approaches and features - however a good place to start is with a couple of free and easy to use web based ones like Google Reader and Bloglines. Either one will do if you’re starting out (I use Google’s Reader) - as I say there are many others to choose from but to get started either of these are fairly easy to use and will help you work out the basics of RSS.
Both of these feed readers work a little like email. As you subscribe to feeds you’ll see that unread entries from the sites you’re tracking will be marked as bold. As you click on them you’ll see the latest update and can read it right there in the feed reader. You are given the option to click through to the actual site or move onto the next unread item - marking the last one as ‘read’.
The best way to learn how to use either Google Reader or Bloglines is to simply subscribe to some feeds and give it a go. Both have helpful help sections to get you up and running.
Find Some Feeds to Subscribe to - there are two places to look for a site’s feed:- On the Site
- In Your Browser
On Site Subscription : Over the last few years you may have noticed a lot of little buttons and widgets appearing on your favorite sites and blogs. Little orange buttons, ‘counters’ with how many ‘readers a blog has, links called RSS, XML, ATOM and many more.
They come in all shapes and sizes. Here are a few you might have seen:
Browser Subscription : Many internet browsers now have the ability to find and subscribe to RSS feeds built right into them. When you surf to a site you can usually tell if it has an RSS feed by looking in the right hand side of address bar where you type in the site’s URL.
How do I find out if a website has an RSS feed?
Almost all the websites have RSS feeds. They usually indicate the existence of the feed on the home page or main news page with a link to "RSS", or sometimes by displaying an orange button with the letters "XML" or "RSS".
RSS feeds can be also often found via a "Syndicate This" link. Text "RSS" links sometimes point to a web page explaining the nature of the RSS feeds provided and how to find them. The buttons are often linked directly to the RSS feed file itself.
Once you know the URL of an RSS feed, you can provide that address to an RSS aggregator program and have the aggregator monitor the feed for you. Many RSS aggregators come preconfigured with a list to choose from of RSS feed URLs for popular news websites.
Here’s how it looks for WEB 2.0 BLOGGER TEMPLATES when you’re using Firefox:
Uses of RSS Feed!
In addition to notifying you about news headlines and changes to websites, RSS can be used for many other purposes. There does not even have to be a web page associated with the items listed -- sometimes all the information you need may be in the titles and descriptions themselves.
Some commonly mentioned uses are:- Notification of the arrival of new products in a store
- Listing and notifying you of newsletter issues, including email newsletters
- Weather and other alerts of changing conditions
- Notification of additions of new items to a database, or new members to a group
RSS Feed | Subscribe RSS
- You have to do all the tracking and work.

How to Create Expandable Posts on Blogger!!!
With this trick, you can choose to display an arbitrary amount of text from the beginning of each post, as a teaser for the whole thing. Then users who want to read the rest of the post can click a link to see the full text. This is handy if you have lots of long articles all on one page. Note that you'll need to have post pages enabled in order to make this feature work.
There are three ingredients that go into this feature: conditional CSS, a "read more" link for each post, and a modification for the posts that use this feature.For NEW BLOGGER
1. Blogger Expandable Posts Hack | Peekaboo View
Author : Ramani
Your blog's main page usually shows the entire content of each post. If your posts are usually more than 2 paragraphs, then your visitor will find it difficult to quickly find the topic of interest to him because he needs to scroll down a lot. This is where expandable post summaries helped in the old Blogger. This hack serves the same purpose for the new Blogger and more! That is, main page will show only post summaries and when you click "Read more", the full post appears in the main page itself (Peekaboo view)!!. Later, Hans improved it by adding a "Summary only" link with which you can collapse the post back to summary.
Together, they also made the "Read more" link to show up only for the posts that have a summary. This is an amazing hack but you need to be careful while changing your template. If you are not familiar with HTML, I strongly suggest you to get help from somebody who knows HTML while applying this hack. Here are the steps to follow.
2. Selective Expandable Posts
Author : Ramani
Some people would still like to use the classic way of expanding posts which takes the reader to the post page upon clicking "Read more" link. On this version, each time readers click on the read more link, they will be redirected to the original post page.
3. Expandable Posts Summaries.
This hack will also let you learn about how to create an expandable post in blogger. The difference is that this hack will open the result on the new window.
NOTE : After you add the code you will have to edit your past posts so that they display in summary fashion on the Main Page of your blog.
The hack applies only to posts on the Main Page. Once a post having the hack moves off the Main Page it does not display in this fashion. This is a Main Page Hack.
4. Expandable Post Summaries for New Blogger.
This post was written by Peter Chen of Blogger-Trick.Blogspot.Com. Same as Hackospehere hack up there. To execute expandable post summary for your blog, the first thing you have to ensure is that "individual post page" (permalink) is enabled. Sign into Dashboard, then in the section for the relevant blog, click SETTINGS, then ARCHIVING and ensure that ENABLE POST PAGES is set to YES.For CLASSIC BLOGGER
1. Making expandable blog posts in Blogger.
Author : No Fancy Name
This hack work on Classic Blogger. This hack may not work for everyone. Tested it in Firefox and IE. Before you get started, be sure that "post pages" are selected in your Blogger settings.
2. Expandable post summaries?
Author : BLOGGER
With this trick, you can choose to display an arbitrary amount of text from the beginning of each post, as a teaser for the whole thing. Then users who want to read the rest of the post can click a link to see the full text. This is handy if you have lots of long articles all on one page. Note that you'll need to have post pages enabled in order to make this feature work.For Both NEW Blogger & CLASSIC Blogger
1. Expandable Posts Hack for both New Blogger and Classic Blogger.
AUTHOR :Aditya Mukherjee
What the code does is run through your post content, and look for[hide]...[/hide]containers. It then replaces it with normal HTML tags to hide the part contained within those, and create a link to make that part visible. Once clicked, the link disappears. The problem is that you can't hide the post again (not yet atleast). I am sure that shouldn't be too much of a hindrance.

Install/Replace a Template/Layout in Blogger
For the new Blogger, and without "beta", changing or installing a new template is a bit different and we will see him step by step.
- First of all, if you have widgets or changes in your template: careful! Save the code of each of them in a text editor to be entered after your new template.
- Go to the tab "Squad" or also known as "design" from the desktop and then to the "Edit HTML."
- From here we have two ways to install the template:

Both methods have the same result. To customize your template You may want to our article "The easiest way to modify a template."
Notes:- You can not use the old Blogger templates in the new, or vice versa.
- Blogger gives you the alarm that removing some widgets, Click "Confirm and Save"
- If you want to see the BLOGGER BAR, look for and removes the following code:
- Some users may have problems with characters in the template, yes these two methods do not work:
- Make sure the character encoding is UTF-8. Since firefox go to the menu "see" why "Consolidation of character" and select "Unicode (UTF-8)."
#navbar-iframe {height:0px;visibility:hidden;display:none}
