Hi,
Thanks for that. I mainly have a question about using the feeds. I am quite new to all things web but i launched started my first site last year. I recently decided it would be good to implement RSS feeds. I think i have created the feeds correctly (altough i have only used the basic tags) (my feeds are located at www.homesforstudents.co.uk/sitemap.aspx). These are my questions: If you look at the sitemap you will see i have a seperate feed for each city. The feed will show the 5 most recent updated / added properties. The problem is that with there being so many many feeds (and more in the future) it is a very manual task of submitting each feed for each city. Is there any kind of 'RSS Crawler'? if such a beast does exist, how do i get it to index all of my feeds automatically? all i have found so far is: <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS" href="http://www.homesforstudents.co.uk/rss_student_accommodation.aspx"; /> Which i put at the top of my default page. Is this the best (only?) was of doing this? Basicallly, how do i get my feeds automatically indexed so when people search for say student acommodation nottingham, it will show my nottingham feed? Sorry this is a bit wordy but i have stuggled to find sites that explain how to get your feed know - plently around on how to create them!

What questions do you have? Are they about making the feeds or using them? Feel free to ask them here on the list. You may have a few questions others haven't yet asked. I'm sure myself or any number of other folks can offer answers. -Bill Kearney Syndic8.com If you're getting "too much mail" then send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (this will tell it to stop sending you mail) To change your membership use THIS WEB PAGE: http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/syndic8/join (here you can set your mail to digest, no mail or LEAVE the list) To find more info about Syndicated XML newsfeeds visit http://www.syndic8.com/ Yahoo!
