<pre id="line1">&lt;<span class="start-tag">link</span><span class="attribute-name"> href</span>=<span class="attribute-value">"" </span><span class="attribute-name">rel</span>=<span class="attribute-value">"alternate" </span><span class="attribute-name">type</span>=<span class="attribute-value">"application/rss+xml" </span><span class="attribute-name">title</span>=<span class="attribute-value">"" </span><span class="error"><span class="attribute-name">/</span></span>&gt;</pre>
<p>but since we&#8217;re already using starting to <a href="http://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.php">use robots.txt files to reference our sitemaps</a> like so:</p>
<pre>Sitemap: &lt;sitemap_location&gt;</pre>
<p>why not use it to reference our RSS feeds as well? It would be trivial do something like this in a sitemap:</p>
<pre>RSS: &lt;feed_location&gt;</pre>
<p>Thoughts anyone?</p>
