    Default RSS Feed link in address bar

    I've just noticed when viewing this forum in Firefox, in the address bar there is an RSS link. In IE, there is a similar RSS feed pulldown that becomes active when an RSS feed is available.

    Anyone know how to do this?

    It is obviously not an "automatic" browser thing, because I can be right on an RSS feed page, and still it will not show in FF or be greyed-out in IE.

    OK. Found this link.

    Basically you need to insert the following between the HEAD tags:
    Code:
    <link rel="alternate" 
    type="application/rss+xml" title="Title of Feed"
    href="http://full_url.to_feed.xml">
    And it seems this would have to be inserted on EVERY PAGE where you want the icon to appear or be active.

    Not sure why I thought I wouldn't be able to find this info myself. Not enough sleep, I guess.

    Maybe this helps save someone else 10 minutes.

    Wouldn't it be great if there was only a single browser to worry about!!!
