Prweb.com has launched a new service called RSSPAD. You can create a RSS feed based on specific URLs on your Website. These web feeds also allow you to categorize your online magazine RSS feed as well as submit your feed to other RSS sites.

Another popular tool for managing your feeds is Feedburner.com. Feedburner allows publishers to promote their feeds as well as see statistics about the number of feed subscribers. Feedburner also offers a email type feed subscription enabling visitors to receive an email when new feed items are added. RSS XML files can also be created manually with a html editor if you'd prefer to use your own website as the domain for the feed. How Do I Use an RSS Feed for my Magazine? To use an RSS feed you actually use the URL of the feed since looking at the page that is created would probably be quite confusing.

The Publish Digital website automatically creates feeds from the articles, FAQs, and even latest forum posts that are created on the web site.
