Jekyll RSS feed

A simple, customizable RSS feed for Jekyll.

Usage

1. Put feed.xml in your Jekyll folder (wherever you keep the _config.yaml).
2. Set the variables name, description and url in your _config.yaml.

Optional: Customize your feed

Some easy properties to change:

• Language (e.g. en-us, de)
• TTL (default: 1440 minutes, instructs readers to only refresh once per day. Set to 60 to refresh hourly)
• Post limit (default: 10)

Some other valid RSS properties you can add are listed in the RSS Specification. For example, sub-elements of channel include:

• Site lasted updated date (<pubDate>{{ site.time }}</pubdate>)
• Site owner (<webMaster>[email protected] (Your Name)<webMaster>)
• Site image (see RSS specification)

You can also remove any properties, except:

• Properties title, description and link are non-optional in channel
• An item must have at least one of title or description
• Readers may rely on GUID to determine if a post is new or just edited since last visit

Features
