What is Feed
Editor?
Feed Editor is a unique powerful
and easy-to-use tool for creating RSS feeds and podcasts.
I'm very new to
RSS. How difficult is it to create your own RSS feed?
With Feed Editor, it is really
easy to create new feeds and update already existing RSS feeds.
Watch the video tutorial to start with.
Where can I
learn more about RSS fields, for example, about the "GUID"
field?
Feed Editor has a built-in context
help system. To get help, select the “Help\What’s This?
Help” menu item and click any field in the Feed Editor
window.
Where can I get
additional information about RSS technologies and
podcasting?
We have created several special
information resources devoted to RSS:
http://www.rss-specification.com/
http://www.create-rss-feed.com/
http://www.rss-software.org/
I have created
an RSS feed, but I'm not sure if it is valid. How can I validate
the feed?
Use the built-in Feed Validator
(“Tools\Feed Validator…”) to check whether your feeds and podcasts
comply with the RSS and iTunes specifications.
How to publish
an RSS feed?
There are several ways to publish
an RSS feed. Method 1. Use the control panel of your hosting
service provider, manually upload the RSS feed file (.xml or .rss)
to your server. Method 2. If you hosting service provider supports
transferring files via FTP (File Transfer Protocol), you can use
the built-in FTP client (“Feed\Upload…”).
I have
successfully uploaded my RSS feed to the server. How to do so that
the browser could automatically detect the RSS feed (for example,
the RSS icon to the left from the page URL in Internet
Exporer)?
You should create a link to the
RSS feed in the “<head>” section of each page on your
site:
<head>
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS" href="http://www.yoursite.com/yourfeed.xml" />
</head>
How can I
increase the popularity of my RSS feed?
The main thing you should do is
submit your feed to RSS directories and search engines. There are
hundreds of these sites available at the moment. Use RSS Submit to automatically submit your feed to these
sites.
Is there any
simple way to move items in a feed?
There are several methods you can
use.
1). You can use the “Move Item
Up”/”Move Item Down” buttons;
2). Move items by just dragging
them while holding down the left mouse button over the list with
feed items;
3). Use the clipboard to copy and
paste whole feed items.
How can I
convert MySQL/CSV into RSS?
Use the Import Wizard
(“Tools\Import Wizard…”). You can convert HTML, CSV into RSS.
Besides, you can use Feed Editor to export data from RSS to CSV,
Excel, Atom, RDF, JS, HTML, TXT.
I still have
questions. Where can I get help?

technical support service. We will be glad to
