Get the browser to detect your RSS feed

In IE7 and Firefox, there is integration with RSS feeds. When a site contains a feed the RSS icon with highlight, either in the address bar (FireFox) or in the menu bar (IE7). So how do you add support for this to your page?

Add a line similar to the one below, into your html head contents:

<link href=”http://www.pureblue.wordpress.com/rss” rel=”alternate” type=”application/rss+xml” title=”Pure Blue – .NET and other things” />

All compatible browsers will now highlight the feed!
