You can subscribe with http://zinkov.com/rss.xml. I get this question a lot, what's the standard way this is solved?


You can enable RSS auto-discovery by adding a tag to your HTML:

  <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS Feed" href="http://zinkov.com/rss.xml" />
Any decent RSS reader (e.g. Google Reader, TTRSS) would then detect the feed if the user tried to subscribe to your homepage. Some browsers and browser extensions also provide a one-click subscribe button based on that tag.

It's also common to just put a visible link somewhere on the page, since not everyone knows about auto-discovery.


Thank you. I subscribed.

The usual practice seems to be to put a link to the rss feed (the one you just gave) somewhere on the archive page or at the top of each post page.

Thanks again.
