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. more...
