I have added an RSS feed to my website but I can't get google readers and others to pick it up from just my root domain (www.example.com) they need the full address to the rss feed. How can I get them to pick up my feed without my users needing to add the full RSS feed address?
I have added the meta tag below but it doesn't seem to have worked.
Thanks Tom
Your default document (i.e. the one you see on example.com) should have something like this inside the <head> section:
<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="RSS" href="/feeds/question/1037523">
Add this to the head of your index page:
<link href="/myRssOutputFile.php" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS 2.0" />
You need to add a link in the head section of the page
<link href="/path/to/feed" title="Feed Title" type="application/rss+xml" rel="alternate"/>
