RSS Images

[Joseph Witchard]

Do you have to provide your own images when you post your RSS feed on your web page, or are there some provided in XML (such as the spacer.gif in HTML)?

Hopefully I have understood your question.

If the images are related to the feed then yes, you need to provide the whole url.

If images are used for formatting the rss feed display, then the images will be called in the data formatting code.

I just meant like the little orange buttons labeled "RSS" that I see on websites all the time. You click the button to subscribe to the feed.

This image is to be added on the page and not in the xml file

Last time I checked, RSS doesn't allow for a html namespace, if you need to merge your layout and feed atom allows for this.

The little RSS image is only used to link to the rss feed, as with and image link to any file. <a href="myfeed.xml">The RSS image</a>

But where do you get the RSS image to use as the link? Do you have to make it yourself?
