How to Make RSS Feeds Work in IE7 and Windows Vista?
The Longorn RSS team just started a work-in-progress, which will become a Windows RSS Publisher's Guide.
They start by providing instructions for RSS Autodiscovery, not exactly something new, but also provide some interesting best practices for this feature.
a] Choose good tiels for your feeds, because IE 7 will display the title as you write it in your autodiscovery tags.
b] Microsoft recommends you select an RSS format and then stick to it, instead of listing the same feeds in different formats, since that will only confuser the user.
c] While you can list as many feeds as you like, you need to make sure that the first one listed is the one most relevant to the page itself.
d] And of course, this one goes without saying, even though you've taken care of RSS Autodiscovery, continue providing links to your feeds in the actual page.
How Can RSS Power Your Internet Marketing and Publishing?
