Create an instant RSS feed from your Freeway Web site

Keep your audience up-to-date with the latest changes to your site with an RSS “feed.” It’s easy and quick with Freeway Pro and SimpleRSS.

INSTRUCTIONS

Create an HTML box on your page. Enter the data you wish to publish in the following format (font styling does not matter):

Headline with link applied followed by a Return

The description of the link above goes here, followed by another Return.

You may repeat this list pattern as many times as you like, as long as there are an equal number of linked headlines and descriptions, and they alternate with one another. There must not be any other text in the HTML box.

Apply the SimpleRSS Action to the HTML box. Fill in the Actions Palette fields as noted below:

When you publish the page, the contents of the HTML box are converted into RSS format XML, and saved in a file. If you choose Delete Source, the original HTML box will be erased from your Web page, leaving only the published XML, so you can choose to have different versions of the same information in your RSS feed and your Web page.
