Are All RSS Feeds The Same Format?
The RSS feeds are not all in the same format. There are a number of versions of the RSS specification. There is also a competing specification, called Atom. Atom is thought of as a superior specification but is far less popular than RSS. To the end user there is no discernible difference to content created using the various specifications. Currently RSS 2.0 is the most popular and widely used format for content syndication, this is in part because of the popularity of podcasting and as RSS 2.0′s support for the enclosure field.
Most RSS readers support all of the RSS formats, and will display a feed as long as it conforms to the specifications of one of the valid formats.
When I Submit My Blog to Directories Should I Submit the Web Page or Feed?
It depends! Some blog search engines want the URL of the html web page, while others will ask for the RSS feed. If you are manually submitting the blog/blog feed, you will just need to pay particular attention to what they are asking for. If you are given the option of providing html or rss, you will want to provide the RSS feed so that it dynamically updates as your RSS feed updates.
