What Is RSS?

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. It refers to files easily read by a computer called XML files that automatically update information. These feeds are called RSS Feed.

This information is fetched by a user’s RSS feed reader that converts the files into the latest updates from websites in an easy to read format. It feeds you headlines, summaries, update notices, and links back to articles on your favorite website’s page.

This content is distributed in real time, so that the top results on the RSS feed are always the latest published content for a website.

An RSS feed allows you to create your own customized eZine of the most up-to-date content for the topics and websites you are interested about.

Medium RSS feeds

medium.com/feed/@vinogeo

Publications: For a Medium publication’s RSS feed, add /feed/ before the publication’s name, like so:

Publications with custom domains: For a publication on a custom domain, add /feed/ to the end of the URL:

  • http://wordpress.com/feed/rss2/ (RSS 2.0 format)
  • http://wordpress.com/feed/rss/ (RSS 0.92 format)
  • http://wordpress.com/feed/rdf/ (RDF/RSS 1.0 format)
  • http://wordpress.com/feed/atom/ (Atom format)

WordPress Post-Feed Formats for Default URLs (non-permalink)

By default, your main-content (posts) feed is accessible via the following URLs, depending on desired format:

  • http://wordpress.com/wp-rss2.php (RSS 2.0 format)
  • http://wordpress.com/wp-rss.php (RSS 0.92 format)
  • http://wordpress.com/wp-rdf.php (RDF/RSS 1.0 format)
  • http://wordpress.com/wp-atom.php (Atom format)

WordPress Post-Feed Formats via Query String (non-permalink)

Alternately, your main-content (posts) feed is also available at the following URLs, depending on desired format:

  • http://wordpress.com/?feed=rss2 (RSS 2.0 format)
  • http://wordpress.com/?feed=rss (RSS 0.92 format)
  • http://wordpress.com/?feed=rdf (RDF/RSS 1.0 format)
  • http://wordpress.com/?feed=atom (Atom format)

Display your Default Post-Feed URLs

To determine/display the default posts feed URL for your blog’s main content, place any or all of these template tags into a useful location in one of your theme files:

  • <?php bloginfo(‘rss2_url’); ?> (RSS 2.0 format)
  • <?php bloginfo(‘rss_url’); ?> (RSS 0.92 format)
  • <?php bloginfo(‘rdf_url’); ?> (RDF/RSS 1.0 format)
  • <?php bloginfo(‘atom_url’); ?> (Atom format)

WordPress Main Comments Feed

Your blog’s main comments feed is available only in RSS 2.0 format, but there are several URLoptions from which to choose:

  • http://wordpress.com/comments/feed/ (Permalink format)
  • http://wordpress.com/wp-commentsrss2.php (Default format)
  • http://wordpress.com/?feed=commentsrss2 (Query-string format)

Display your Main-Comments Feed URL

To display the default URL for your main comments feed, add this template tag to your theme file and load the page in your browser:

<?php bloginfo(‘comments_rss2_url’); ?>

Post-Specific Comment Feeds

By default, every post also delivers its own feed featuring all of its comments. To display feed URLs for individual, post-specific comment feeds, place this template tag anywhere in the main post loop or comment loop :

<?php comments_rss_link(‘Subscribe to comments on this post via RSS-2.0 feed’); ?>

Alternately, to display the comment feed URL for any specific post, simply append either of the following to the original post URL:

  • feed/ (Permalink format)
  • ?feed=rss2 (Default format)

Here is an example of each method for a generalized post URL:

  • http://wordpress.com/individual-post/feed/ (Permalink format)
  • http://wordpress.com/individual-post/?feed=rss2 (Default format)

Update: When using default (non-permalink) URLs, the post-specific comment feeds are available via the following format:

http://wordpress.com/?feed=rss2&p=123

..where “p=” references the post ID (thanks to Spamboy for sharing this information).

Category Feeds

To display individual category feed URLs, use either of the following formats :

  • http://wordpress.com/category/categoryname/feed/ (Permalink format)
  • http://wordpress.com/wp-rss2.php?cat=33 (Default format)

TUMBLR

On most Tumblr-hosted blogs, the URL looks like this example  “http://knowlab.tumblr.com.” But Tumblr also allows users to host blogs with a custom domain name, so the URL might look more like this example  http://www.exampleblogname.com.

Add “/rss” to the end of the blog’s URL to identify its RSS feed address. The RSS feed address for the two blogs in the examples above would be: “http://exampleblogname.tumblr.com/rss” or http://www.exampleblogname.com/rss.

Subscribe to Tumblr Tags

If the blog owner is using tag pages, you can also subscribe to specific Tumblr tags to see only the new blog posts that are tagged with your favorite topics. If the Hamsterbikes Tumblr blog were to gather all of its posts with the tag “#speedracer” onto a tag page, the address would be “http://hamsterbikes.tumblr.com/tagged/speedracer.” You could subscribe to just the new posts also tagged “#speedracer” by navigating to “http://hamsterbikes.tumblr.com/tagged/speedracer/rss.”
