The RSS icon in the browser address bar

You may have noticed the feed or RSS icon occasionally appearing in the address bar of your browser to indicate that an RSS feed is available.

The display of the icon is controlled by a specific line of HTML code:

<link rel=”alternate” type=”application/rss+xml” title=”Alumni News Blog” xhref=”http://www.smu.edu/alumni/news/blog/rss.xml” mce_href=”http://www.smu.edu/alumni/news/blog/rss.xml” />

Simply placing this line of code in the header section of the HTML allows users to view and subscribe to the link through their browser.

To customize the code simply alter the “title” and href” elements.
