Instead of a direct button, a hyperlink (see p. 223) can be created from anywhere
in your site which links directly to your new feed. A special link destination type
called RSS Feed is used.
Subscribing via iTunes
Once a broadcaster has submitted their feed to iTunes and had it approved, the
web visitor can subscribe to the podcast as follows:
1. Launch iTunes.
2. Click Subscribe to Podcast... from the Advanced menu.
3. Enter the feed URL in the dialog's input box, then click OK. The
podcast appears as an entry in the window.
New episodes can be downloaded via GET
or GET ALL buttons next to each episode or
feed, respectively (you can also right-click
on a feed and choose Update Podcast. Media
files will then be downloaded and will be
available for playback directly within
iTunes.

Unsubscribe button at the bottom of the
Including third-party feeds
Instead of creating your own RSS feed or podcast you may wish to include an
RSS feed from another website on your own web page—a web page's content
can be boosted by inclusion of a feed from any popular news service (Reuters,
BBC News, sport, etc.) or other information service (e.g., financial). Many
major news and information services host lists of RSS feeds relating to specific
areas of interest (geographical, entertainment, political, music, etc.) so it's just a
case of copying the link for the website's RSS feed and pasting it into a dialog
shown when clicking the WebPlus's RSS Reader Tool. Please bear in mind any
terms and conditions in using a third-party RSS feed—these should be clearly
indicated on the originating website.
