Some RSS aggregators have the capability of finding an RSS feed on a web page and making it easy for the user to subscribe to it

An example of this can be seen in the Firefox browser, whenever the browser discovers an RSS feed, it displays an orange icon in the bottom right of the browser window.

If you click on the orange Firefox icon it will give you the option to subscribe to the RSS feed.


In order to enable auto-discovery aggregation, you need to add some code to your page.

•    Go to the Page where you wish to display the Firefox orange icon.
•    Go to Page Settings

 

•    Go to Advanced Settings / Page Header Tags



•    Enter:

Change the Title to your RSS title and the href=” … “ to your RSS feed URL.

•    Click on Update

When viewing the page in Firefox you should now be able to see the orange icon.
