Snippet: Browser RSS Feed Detection

Posted on Monday 24th October 2011 by Andy Mills

Ever noticed how some sites now display a little RSS Feed icon in the address bar?

Adding this is as simple as adding another link tag to the head of your HTML document, much like you'd include a CSS file:

<link href="your_link_here.rss" rel="alternate"
		title="RSS" type="application/rss+xml" />

Just replace the 'your_link_here' bit with the actual link to your RSS feed, and the browser will do the rest.
