Oh technomages of c/selfhosted, I come seeking your help once more because anywhere I look there’s people trying to sell me on their service, something-something PODCASTS, or RSS for windows and all that, my brain cannot anymore.

I’ve got a blog I’m serving with nginx, and I would like to implement some sort of RSS feed. I’m pretty much new to the whole thing, but it was recommended to me. I did a bit of research and now I know those are like xml files that you subscribe to.

So, I wanted to know: In your experience, what is the best way to go about this? Do I have to make them myself by hand and put them in an /rss/ directory in the root of my blog? How do people subscribe to them? Got any resources?

I wouldn’t mind writing them by hand actually, my whole website is hand-made, gluten free and organic. (maybe not the last one).

Thanks in advance <3

    Are you talking about just a straight HTML/CSS static blog, or is it created in a framework of some sort?

      This is the important question. On my blog software It’s just one short page written in the blog’s templating language, very easy to create from scratch.

      If the blog is a collection of plain HTML pages, you’ll somehow need to collect the pertinent info first (e.g. the ten newest pages, their titles, a short summary).
