When you begin a new feed you will firstly be prompted to create your feed properties.
This creates the "header" of your feed and describes all
of the items of which your feed comprises.
The feed properties screen contains the same fields, whether you are creating a
REAL ESTATE feed or a GENERAL feed.
Certain information will be pre-populated if you have filled out your program OPTIONS.
We will now examine each field of this screen:
IMPORTANT: Always give your feeds a unique TITLE for every feed.
The title is used as the feed's FILE NAME.
1. FEED TITLE
The name that will appear at the very top of your feed page. This field will also
become the FILE NAME of your feed's local copy and published XML file. Keep this
as brief and pointed as possible.
Example: If your feed contains a set of items of news and statistics regarding economic
conditions in New Zealand, your title might be "Economic Conditions in New Zealand".
2. YOUR SITE'S URL
The web address of your site's home page or other page of relevance to all items
contained in your feed. Always include the prefix http://.
3. FEED DESCRIPTION
One or two paragraphs of text to describe your feed. Keep in mind that you should
include pointed vocabulary so that search engines locate your feed when people are
searching for information about your feed's subject.
4. COPYRIGHT
If the contents of your feed are under copyright, you can add the copyright string
here.
5. WEBMASTER E-MAIL
the e-mail address of the person to whom queries about this feed should be addressed
if your subscribers require more information.
Feed Title Image
This section can be used to place a logo graphic at the top of your feed. This
will only be viewable to those who have subscribed to your feed. These fields are
OPTIONAL. You may leave them blank if you do not wish to display an image at the
top of your feed.
6. IMAGE URL
The web address of the image you wish to use. Always commence with the prefix http://.
Your image must ALREADY BE HOSTED on a web server. After entering the web address
and navigating away from this field, the image will appear in the box to the right
if it has been correctly referenced.
7. IMAGE HYPERLINK URL
The web page to which people should be sent when they click on your image. Always
commence with the prefix http://.
8. IMAGE CAPTION
The mouse-over text which the user will see when they place their cursor over your
image.
