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.

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.

RSS feeds should be segmented into categories and information sources. For example you might have an RSS feed for a forum, a blog, a newsletter, if you sell various products you might have different feeds for each product or product line. Additionally you might have support feeds or a FAQ feed for each product or product family.

Webmasters might also group feed discounts or coupon deals, offers, press releases, or job postings. Bottom line be createive use RSS feeds for all aspects of communication, but match the theme of each feed so that all the content in a feed is related.
