+
+RSS feeds are an easy way to be notified about new content from various
+websites, and they are easy to implement in your website.
+
+## How an RSS Feed Works
+
+Some websites with frequently changing content like blogs, podcasts, or
+video sharing sites, will have a link to a file containing the RSS feed
+and its items.
+
+When there is new content, a new item can be added to the RSS feed, and
+old items can optionally be removed from the RSS feed. A user\'s feed
+reader can check an RSS feed for new items and notify the user about
+them or organize them.
+
+## Writing an RSS Feed
+
+RSS feeds are written as XML (e**x**tensible **m**arkup **l**anguage)
+files, so they can be written and served similar to HTML webpages.
+
+We will start by creating a file for our RSS feed. Make sure the file
+name ends with `.rss` or `.xml`. Then, write the following code in the
+file:
+
+```xml
+<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
+<rss version="2.0">
+    <channel>
+    </channel>
+</rss>
+```
+
+The `<rss>` tag specifies that there is an RSS feed in between the
+`<rss>` and `</rss>` tags. `version="2.0"` specifies that version 2.0 of
+RSS is used. The items in an RSS feed go in between the `<channel>` and
+`</channel>` tags.
+
+### Title, Description, and Link
+
+Now we will write a title and description for our RSS feed, as well as a
+link to the webpage that the RSS feed goes with. In this example, we
+will be writing an RSS feed for a blog called **SiCh\'s Blog**.
+
+In between the `<channel>` and `</channel>` tags, the `<title>` tag will
+be used to label the feed as **SiCh\'s Blog**. The `<description>`
+and `<link>` tags are used for the description of the feed and a link to
+the corresponding webpage.
+
+```xml
+<channel>
+	<title>SiCh's Blog</title>
+	<description>SiCh's writings and ideas</description>
+	<link>https://example.org/blog</link>
+</channel>
+```
+
+{{< img src="/pix/rss-01.png" alt="SiCh's blog feed" link="/pix/rss-01.png" >}}
+
+### Feed Items
+
+Now we will add items to the RSS feed. These items are listed in the
+user\'s feed reader and can represent different content on a page such
+as blog posts or videos. In this example, there is a blog post called
+**RSS is Amazing!**.
+
+The `<item>` tag is used to add items to the RSS feed. An item is given
+a title using the `<title>` tag to label the item. The item will have a
+link to its webpage using the `<link>` tag and an item description using
+the `<description>` tag.
+
+The date and time of an item can be specified using the `<pubDate>` tag.
+The date and time **must follow a specific format**. In the example
+below, the item was posted on **Friday, October 1, 2021 at 2:27 PM in
+the -0400 time zone**.
+
+```xml
+<item>
+	<title>RSS is Amazing!</title>
+	<link>https://example.org/blog/2021-10-1-rss</link>
+	<description>RSS is a good notification system.</description>
+	<pubDate>Fri, 1 Oct 2021 14:27:00 -0400</pubDate>
+ </item>
+```
