About this title

Synopsis

Written for web developers who want to share their site with others or use the content other people are syndicating, this book overviews the most commonly used XML syndication standard, RDF site summary (RSS), which allows a portal to display headlines and URLs from other sites all within the same page. Hammersly, who is a British journalist, explains how to create an RSS feed, how to use RSS 1.0 modules, how to incorporate other RSS 0.9x feeds within a web site, and how to extend a desktop reader to understand a new module.

About the Author

Ben Hammersley is an English emigre, living in Sweden, with his wife, three greyhounds, a few hundred deer, and a two-way satellite connection. For a day job, he writes for the British national press, appearing in The Times, The Guardian, and The Observer, but in his free time, he blogs excessively at www.benhammersley.com and runs the Lazyweb.org ideas site. As a member of the RSS 1.0 Working Group, he survived the Great Fork Summer, and as a journalist he has been accosted by the secret police of two countries. To this day, he doesn't know which was worse.
