So, NatGeo used to have an RSS feed for Photo of the Day feed link, that I received in main through ifttt, however it was discontinued in August.
Since then I've been using Bing but wanted to look into natgeo as well.
As a half measure, I am using a feed from Your Shot tumblr, but the content is not quite the same.
So the question is: is there a publicly-available NatGeo photo of the day feed? Preferably with no additional scraping need, and one I can redirect to my email.
Thanks

I know the title is rough, what I mean is could you have a blog that had an RSS feed that would display your posts in an RSS reader, but the website itself doesn't have any page that showed it in blog format (of course there would need to be a link for the feed itself but that's not an easily readable format so that's ok). The only way to see the posts would be subscribing to the RSS feed, there wouldn't even be a URL you could go to that'd show it.
I think I know the answer, but wanted to double check:
Should the link tag in an RSS feed always point to a website's home page or to the most relevant page?
What I mean: say there is a website devoted to real estate (http://www.realestate.com) that has multiple RSS feeds. One RSS feed is latest listings, one RSS feed is latest home listings, one RSS feed is latest apartment listings, etc. The home listings can be found at http://www.realestate.com/home-listings.html. The apartment listings can be found at http://www.realestate.com/apartment-listings.html
Should the link tag for all 3 RSS feeds point to http://www.realestate.com/? Or should it point to, respectively, http://www.realestate.com/, http://www.realestate.com/home-listings.html and http://www.realestate.com/appartment-listings.html?
The RSS "Profile" states that "The link element identifies the URL of the web site associated with the feed (required)."

But let's be pragamtic. The intention here, is certainly to let the user click on the link to go to the source of information.
I think it would be better to link to the apropriate section than to the homepage.
I am new to RSS/Atom feeds and there are a couple of points that I don't quite understand from doing some basic research.
Firstly, how do I tell if a website has an RSS/Atom feed? I can't see an icon for it on the website but is there anything else I can look at that will give me an indication that there is a feed?
Secondly, if there isn't an RSS/Atom Feed, is it going to be possible to create an RSS/Atom feed that will always be up-to-date without being a webmaster of the site? I am essentially wanting to use an RSS/Atom feed to get web pages that have products that are going to be resold on another website. Is this going to be possible if these pages aren't already in an RSS/ATOM feed? I know there are tools that allow you to make an RSS Feed of any webpage but I believe you have to re-do it if any content changes.
Thanks for your time.
To find out if a site offers an RSSAtom feed, use feed auto-discovery.
No, if you're not the publisher of the site, you can't publish an RSS feed which is consistently up to date.
So a company I'm working with gets mentioned in the media from time to time (BBC & other big news sites).
Is anyone aware of fees / licenses we will need to use the content that BBC etc provides using OpenGraph and post that content on our site?
So essentially we want a little card on our site with the page title, OG image, URL and possibly the description, when the user clicks this it will open the original page/link on the original source site.
I can't see too much info out there other than sharing on facebook, not using OpenGraph on our site.
Can anyone share some knowledge? Cheers!
If I get your question correctly, you want to retrieve posts on the BBC site, scrape the information and show in your own site, right?
Does the site of BBC, and possible others, provide a feed where you can subscribe to? In that case, you could monitor that feed for any mentions of your company.
Alternatively, you can use one of Facebook's partners that use the Keyword Insights API. There you can set up monitoring for your company name and integrate with their API.
I've been having problems with a Google News feed. Its description field contains a whole bunch of HTML along with the actual one sentence teaser of the news story. What language/technology do I need to learn/use to massage this feed into something prettier?
Yahoo pipes might be what you could use http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/
