Welcome to the FeedForAll basic RSS configuration
tutorial.
In this tutorial, we'll be going over how
to create a basic RSS Feed.
For information on creating podcasts, please
watch our Podcasting tutorial.
The first step is to run the program, so
find your shortcut for FeedForAll and double
click on it.
When you first run the program, you'll see
this splash screen.
If you would like to purchase the software,
left click on the Buy Now button.
If you've already purchased, please watch
our FeedForAll registration tutorial.
To continue to use the trial version, left

After you left click on Continue, a prompt
will come up and ask if you ant to use the
FeedForAll Feed Creation wizard.
For the purposes of this tutorial, left
click on Yes.
In the first step of the Feed Creation Wizard,
left click on Next.
In the second step, the wizard will ask
what type of feed you would like to create.
There are currently three available options:
Standard RSS Feed, Standard Podcast, and
iTunes Podcast.
For the purposes of this tutorial, select
Standard RSS Feed, then click on Next.
In the third step, the wizard will ask you
for a Feed Title.
Your Feed Title is the overall name of the
feed that you would like displayed.
Enter the title for your feed, then click
on Next.
In the fourth step, the wizard will ask
you for a Feed Description.
Your Feed Description should be a short,
concise description of the purpose or content
of the feed itself, not the items, which
we'll get to later.
After entering The description for your
feed, Left click on next. In the fifth step,
you'll need to give the Feed a link.
Most feed links reference your website.
For example, in this tutorial, we'll use
our website, http://www.feedforall.com After
entering the link to your website, left
click on Next.
When you click on Next, you'll see the Item
Introduction section.
This is the section we can use to create
individual items for our RSS Feed.
So, left click on Next to start the Item
Creation wizard.
In the first step of the Item Creation Wizard,
you'll need to enter a title for the item.
In the space provided, enter a short title
for the item.
After entering the title, click on Next.
In the second step, you'll need to enter
a short description of the item in the space
provided.
After entering a short description of the
item, click on Next.
In the third step, it will ask you for the
item link.
The item's link should be a URL to a webpage
that contains the full version of the information
this item represents.
After entering a link, click on Next.
On the final prompt of the Configuration
Wizard, you can either click on Finish to
complete the wizard or you can click on
Add Item to add a new item with the Item
creation wizard.
After you click on Finish, the program will
ask you if you would like to save the new
feed.
Click on Yes.
A new prompt will come up and it will ask
you what you want to name the feed.
This is the file name for the feed and is
what will be referenced on your website.
Enter a name for the feed, then left click
on Save.
This concludes the FeedForAll basic RSS
configuration tutorial.
