A RSS feed should always contain an "item", whichever version of RSS you might use. If you wrote about a recent event in your city or a book review, the contents of this article can form an item. An item is essentially composed of three things: a title, its description, and link (where they can find your webpage). In choosing a title and description, use something that will describe the web content best. Although it will be easier for you, it doesn't follow that the title tag of your webpage and the item title are the same.

An item will look like HTML tags. First, you need an opening channel tag that put it as an XML file defined. Then, label the tag as an item by it after the channel tag. Then you can now insert the three essentials of your item:,, and. Just like HTML, we need to close the day in writing and on the ground.
