automatic
(podcasts
only)
The web visitor clicks the
icon (or associated hyperlink;
see examples below). The podcast and reader is defined
explicitly, so subscription is automatic. This is done by
double-clicking the podcast on your page and choosing an
option from the Open Podcast with drop-down list.
An example could be as follows:
Instead of a direct button, a hyperlink (see p. 85) can be created
from anywhere in your site which links directly to your new feed. A
special link destination type called RSS Feed is used.
Including third-party feeds
Instead of creating your own RSS feed or podcast you may wish to include an
RSS feed from another website on your own web page—a web page's content
can be boosted by inclusion of a feed from any popular news service (Reuters,
BBC News, sport, etc.) or other information service (e.g., financial). Many
major news and information services host lists of RSS feeds relating to specific
areas of interest (geographical, entertainment, political, music, etc.) so it's just
a case of copying the link for the website's RSS feed and pasting it into a
dialog shown when clicking the WebPlus's RSS Reader Tool. Please bear in
mind any terms and conditions in using a third-party RSS feed—these should be
clearly indicated on the originating website.
