How to Create RSS Feed with RSS Wizard?

1. Source File

Specify the link to the file or press the "Browse" button to select a local file. Use the "http://" prefix for online documents and "file://" for local files.

When you press the "Next" button, the file will be loaded and the wizard will proceed to Step 2.

2. To generate an RSS file, RSS Wizard uses the data contained in the loaded web page. For more information on the structure of RSS files, click here. The converter functions in the following way: it picks out the necessary texts (as set by the user) in the web page code and uses them to create an RSS feed.

RSS Wizard has a unique feature: it can automatically determine the Description, Title and Link of each item. However, if for some reason you do not want to use it, specify the parameters of these fields manually.

Besides, you don't have to fill in each field of Step 2 manually. Press the "Select" button to invoke the window that will display the code of the loaded page. Select the necessary part of the code and press "OK".

Start String

The identifier that marks the beginning of the code that will be processed.

Start Item String

Specifies the beginning of each RSS feed item.

End Item String

Specifies the end of each item.

End String

Specifies the end of the processed part of the code.

Start Description String

Specifies the beginning of each RSS feed item description.

End Description String

Specifies the end of each RSS feed item description.

Start Title String

Specifies the beginning of each RSS feed item title.

End Title String

Specifies the end of each RSS feed item title.

Start Link String

Specifies the beginning of each RSS feed item link.

End Link String

3. In case you did everything right, the code of the created RSS feed will be displayed in the textbox in the Step 3 screen. Here you can also edit the generated XML code manually (while the code-highlighting feature will make it significantly easier).

4. The final step is saving your RSS feed to disk or publishing it in the web. RSS Wizard has a built-in tool that can upload your RSS feed to a web server using the FTP protocol.
