how does firefox know that a web site has an rss feed, so that firefox
will display the "rss feed" icon for that web site?
How the "rss feed" icon works in Firefox?
Firefox looks for a rss url on the page and displays the icon if found.
Reply:Firefox knows that a website has an RSS feed by detecting a piece of
code in the script of the site. The way this works is very similar to
how a search engine knows what the site is about (by looking at
specific tags in the %26lt;head%26gt; section of the script).
%26lt;link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="{YOUR SITE
NAME}" href="{LINK TO YOUR RSS FILE}" /%26gt;
If you simply place the above %26lt;link%26gt; code in the %26lt;head%26gt; area of your
webpage Firefox will display the icon for your site. (Simply change
the information enclosed by { }.)
