Add IE7 RSS Autodiscovery feature to your site

This is a thing that I've to bookmark for the future (could be useful)...

The Longhorn Team RSS Blog has published an article (not yet finished) about Guidance on how to create web pages and RSS feeds that work correctly with IE 7 and Windows Vista and how to enable RSS autodiscovery features.

In order to tell IE (and other browsers, for that matter), that your page has an associated web feed, you need to add a link element inside the header of your web page.

<html>
  <head>
    <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="your feed title here" href="http://www.company.com/feedurl.rss">
  </head>
<body>
...

Put the title of your feed in the title attribute and the URL to the feed itself in the href attribute. And, you’re done.

Thanks a lot guys...
