Sitemaps and Feeds

Sitemaps provide a list of all links on a website in XML format, while RSS and Atom feeds describe recent changes to content like posts or articles. RSS feeds are created by generating an XML document listing item data and metadata like titles, descriptions, dates and links. The feed is then uploaded and submitted to services like Google or Yahoo to be picked up by RSS readers. Best practices for RSS include using publication dates, generating XML sitemaps and RSS feeds, breaking sitemaps into categories, and using sitemaps for mobile.
