Preetha@ Jul 22, 2008
RSS/ATOM are XML syndication formats.
Content in RSS/ATOM is machine parsable and human readable.RSS/ATOM feeds eases the task of an aggregator in that it provides a smart way to extract content from your blog.
If you are a google blogger to get an RSS/ATOM feed for your blog add "/feeds/post/default" to your blog URL.
For example the following represents a feed to mochannelfaq.blogspot.com.
http://mobchannelfaq.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default
If for some reason your feed is not working go to http://www.feedburner.com and burn yourself a new feed
What is a blog and How do i create a one
Preetha@ Jul 22, 2008
All you senior bloggers pardon us, there are quite a few who ask this question.
So this is for them.
A blog in it's simplest definition is user generated content. It is comparable to diary writing in many ways and it's aspects of reachability can be compared to ham radios. Blogging has evolved into a free form of communication,a means of self expression and often into a community news media among hundred other things. There are lot's of users who uses blogs for e-commerce as well like http://www.indulekha.com/.
There are many ways to start your own blog. For the naive the easiest would be to use popular blogging sites like blogger.com , Yahoo 360 , MSN Spaces , Live Journal etc.
Wordpress is a very popular open source blogging site and you can setup your own blog station using word press.
Mob channel has also a built in content publishing module , which though not feature rich like the above mentioned sites would suffice if communicating your idea is your primary concern. However if you want a blog that expresses you, then we recommend one of the above tools. Mob channel is an aggregator which means you can add your feeds from other blog portals into mob channel.
If you want to write in languages other than english, -like malayalam , you can create content for your language using a native language editor and then publish that in your blog.
The reader should have a font that supports glyphs for the language and encoding that you used. UTF-8 is a popular character encoding that can represent all known languages.
For better reading/rendering for non English Unicode characters especially glyphs of phonetic embedded kerned languages like Malayalam a Unicode true type font is required instead of face fonts. Unicode Type fonts are available for almost all languages. For example AnjaliOld is a popular Unicode Malayalam New True Type Font. If your language does not have one , may be you can ask a friend to build one .For the uninitiated all the developers of this portal speak Malayalam, the only language whose name in english is a palindrome .We are called Malayalees which means denizens of the mountains.

Well an authentic certification costs money. We are using a certificate to secure the channel and not to prove our authenticity by a paid authority. If there is a free authority who provides a trusted certificate we can go ahead that.Till we get the $$s to buy a certificate please add an exception in Fire Fox3, and in IE just ignore the warning and go ahead for now.
