Make a Feed

Frequently Asked Questions


Can I use images and HTML tags?
Images and HTML tags are aloud when properly formatted. If you don't know how to properly format your images and HTML it's best that you stick with plain text and link to your images. .
 
Is there any advertising inserted into the free feeds I generate?
No. There is currently no advertising automatically inserted into your feeds. The plans are to keep this service 100% free, but that doesn't mean that at some point in the future we won't begin inserting ads.
 
Is there a limit on the amount of feeds that I can create?
No. Currently, there is no limit on the amount of feeds that you can generate.
 
How do I fill out the form to generate my RSS feed?
All fields are required. Enter your name (first, or first and last). Enter your email address (code and links are emailed to this address). Enter the title of your newsletter, article, ezine, promotion, recipe, marketing tip, product, etc. Next, enter the URL (www.yourdomain.com) of where you want your reader (subscriber) to go to. Perhaps this is a link to your full page article, ezine, recipe, internet marketing tip, etc. And lastly, you'll need to fill in your summary (description). Here you will describe your RSS feed. This is basically a 'teaser' to get the subscriber to click on your link and go to your webpage to finish reading there.
 
How to I implement the RSS feed link into my web page?
To view all of the feeds associated with your email address you'll use the following code in the header:
<LINK rel="alternate" TYPE="application/rss+xml" TITLE="Free RSS Feed Generator" HREF="http://www.makeafeed.com/rss.php?email=Your@Email.com">
To view a specific RSS feed you'll use the following code in your header:
<LINK rel="alternate" TYPE="application/rss+xml" TITLE="Free RSS Feed Generator" HREF="http://www.makeafeed.com/rss2.php?id=NUMBER">
 
How do I link my RSS feeds to MyYahoo, Google, NewsGator and others?
Our feeds are compatible with nearly every service.
 
Are the generated RSS feeds validated?
Our system has been thoroughly tested and all feeds are validated.
 
When someone subscribes to my RSS feeds are they automatically updated when a new feed is added?
Yes. If they are subscribed to all the feeds associated with your email address they will be updated if their RSS feed reader is set to update. Most RSS feed readers have a setting where they can be updated every 5 minutes, every 10 minutes, every hour, every 3 hours, etc.
 
Can I delete a feed from your server?
Absolutely. For each feed you create you'll receive an email with your own unique delete code. No login is required.
 
Can my feeds be accessed by others without my permission?
It is nearly impossible. Feed keys are randomly generated and unique to you. Someone would have better odds at winning the lottery.
