Atom and RSS are the “same” technology using diferent way of puting/formating it.

all these diferencies End with something called http://www.feedburner.com wich is going to Turn your Atom feed into a perfect and validated RSS feed that anyone or any aggregator can “read”.

first of all create an account with feedburner, then past you atom feed or any rss feed into feedburner form, follow the several simples step to finish you feedburner modified generated feed, in the last part you run into a section called “BrowserFriendly” “SmartFeed™” and “FeedFlare” those are the principal section of the “optimise” menu into your feedburner acount, you should “actvate” the one you think interesting –
this is the source feed, from my website loudblog module:

browser like firefox:

This is how feedburner cook your feed into something you can give to anyone,
depending if the feed is a podcast or an rss news headline for exemple, the buttons and the way the content is pre-formated change.

in the “Publicize” section of your feed
you can find a lot of cool tools to make your feed available has a resume,
has you can see in http://www.buzzworkers.com – just under the image there is a resume of my news module powered by feedburner, when i post a news on my website, news appears automatically there, all this thanks to feedburner!

Really usefull to put in blogs or linkblog anyway, with feedburner all this story turn to be easy, also feedburner can prepare your feed to be Itunes-ready, there is a bunch of chicklets with the code to copy past into anywhere, like a simple html code.

well, with this service, using rss turn to be a kids game. they simply take care of your feed in a way no other rss manager does.

also the result on my blogspot account:
http://buzzworkers.blogspot.com

all this blog is full of scripts produced by feedburner, i only use this blog to make 43things and Blogspot “speak” together and to show off rss content produced on my website that will automatically update when i change something on my website.

dunno if i helped about rss, i’m a bit confused/tired and without time, but the important is : go to www.feedburner.com
copy your rss feed url there, then start to manage it with feedburner, then you can export buttons, scripts, and other cool stuff to any blog engine or website. 6 years ago
