Adding An RSS Feed

Many users prefer to read their web comics through an RSS feed. Building an RSS feed as part of publishing your comic is simple.

Edit your comic_info.ini file

Look for the [RSS Feed] section in your comic_info.ini file. It should look something like below:

[RSS Feed]
Build RSS feed = False
Description = Explore a free webcomic-based static site generator delivered through GitHub!
Language = en-us
Image = your_content/images/banner.png
Image width = 100
Image height = 36

Set Build RSS Feed to True. Fill out all the other fields as needed:

• Description: A short description, no more than a few sentences. This will appear underneath the name of your comic in RSS feed readers.

• Language: The language your comic is written in, usually the two-letter code for your language. For example, "English" would be "en", or "United States English" for "en-US". Select from this list of acceptable language codes.

• Image: The relative path to an image you want to represent your website. A banner can do, but something small around 100x100 px is best.

• Image width: The width of the image defined in the Image option above.

• Image height: The height of the image defined in the Image option above.

Add a way for users to subscribe to your feed

The most common way is to add a link in your Links Bar to the feed.xml file, e.g. RSS = /feed.xml

Another good option in place of the RSS text for the link is a RSS feed symbol.

Publish your comic

And you're done! Your RSS feed file will be created the next time you update your comic, and it will be kept automatically updated alongside your comic.
