Can I make rss available for my website (web-directory)?
|

| Hi
My website is a web directory like dmoz and yahoo directory. Can I let
webmasters or even weblog owners to have a copy of my site, allowing
them to present it the way they want to, by providing rss links? Is rss
a good solution?
If so, I think I have two options:
1. Providing a rss feed for each page (each directory):
In this case, can website owners show all my website's pages by using a
rss reader without redirecting users to my website?
2. Providing a single rss file on the homepage:
Then the size of it may reach up to 4 MB. Will this cause any problem
for rss readers? can rss readers categorizes this single file and show
it in different virtual pages?
If you help me to a good solution, I should be grateful. Thanks you!
Regards,
Hector

Why would it reach 4Mb? A site RSS feed should contain a summary of
each story, not the entire story itself. If the site is really *that*
huge, then use one feed at the top giving the latest updates only,
redone hourly, and secondary feeds at the major divisions, and so on.

Hi Peter,
I think you know very well that some blogs have the so called "main
page" that can show the entire blog post at will.
That is what I guess the OP was referring to, although I think that
such a practice isn't very user friendly because it makes browsing
messages alot more time consuming than it would having only a few lines.
I also wanted to add for the OP that making RSS files by hand isn't
exactlty an easy task and would so actively think to an automated
solution.
