RSS Auto discovery

Wikka RSS feeds

Wikka feeds can be 'autodiscovered' by most feed readers and now also by some browsers supporting this mechanism.

Feed reader support

To use autodiscovery, you don't need to find out the location of the RSS file, you simply give your RSS reader the address of the web page and the RSS reader will search the page for any RSS links that it can find.

Feed readers with autodiscovery include (in alphabetical order):

• Aggie
• FeedDemon
• SharpReader (Only the first link is picked up.)
