RSS & Atom Feeds
Syndication feeds so readers can subscribe to your content.
TL;DR
- RSS 2.0 feed at
/feed - Atom 1.0 feed at
/atom
Both serve the 20 most recent published posts. No configuration needed — the feeds are live as soon as you publish content.

Available Feeds
Pubvana provides two syndication feed formats out of the box:

| RSS 2.0 | /feed |
Standard RSS with <title>, <link>, <description>, <pubDate> |

Both feeds are dynamically generated on each request and are not cached.

Each feed includes the 20 most recent published posts, ordered by published_at descending. For each post, the feed includes:
- Post title

excerptfield if set, otherwise the first 500 characters of the post content - Publication date
- Author name
- Category tags (as feed categories/tags)
Adding Feeds to Your Theme
For feed readers to auto-discover your feeds, add the following <link> tags to your theme layout's <head> section:
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS Feed" href="/feed">
<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Atom Feed" href="/atom">
Most modern browsers and feed readers auto-detect these tags and display a subscribe option.
Using Feed Readers
Add your feed URL to any RSS reader or aggregator:
- Feedly: add
https://yoursite.com/feedas a new source. - Feedbin: add the feed URL under Add Subscription.
