RSS Feed Best Practices (2022)

When publishing an RSS feed for your blog, use either Atom or RSS 2 format with proper Content-Type headers to ensure compatibility with the widest range of readers and search engines. Use only absolute URLs throughout your feed, and if starting fresh, Atom is recommended due to its clearer specification and fewer compatibility issues. There is no need to provide feeds in multiple formats simultaneously, as switching between them is safe and rarely confuses readers.
