So above paragraph does not really say which is better, even though I would prefer my own dedicated IP for my Website. Other advantages to having a unique IP for your site is if you change servers, you can point your users to a new IP, so they don't have to wait for domain name change to propagate. With a dedicated static IP, it can also be simpler to upload and test your site before transferring domain name to a new server. Setting up Secure sockets (SSL) is also much simpler. You may also not want to share your IP with some sites that could lead to your site being banned by search engines or spam lists. It’s more stable having your own dedicated IP for your Website.

Now debate is always about search engines optimization but here is my belief; if you get added benefits of search engine optimization that would be great as well. Don’t be fooled by hosting companies that do not want to provide you a static IP for you site, or charge extra for it. Don’t listen to excuses about shortage of IP’s and that they are not needed. My company ( www.Rebelnetworks.com ) offers dedicated static IP for every website, and dedicated server we host. The reality is it costs them more money to provide this type of service with a static dedicated IP’s per site and thus they most hosting companies don’t provide them. When your ready to host you business, or if you already have a business on line but want extra benefits ask for a dedicated IP address for your website.

You can have as many items in feed as you like but many webmasters just show 10 most recent items to keep bandwidth usage down and also so not to overwhelm end user with too many items.

Finally file is ended with closing channel tag and a closing RSS tag.

I have covered basic tags to create an RSS file, there are other tags that can be used and these are explained in RSS 2.0 specification.

Once you have created your file you will need to verify it is ok, to do this upload file to your server and then go to this validator to validate file. Your file is now ready. Now anyone can subscribe to your feed just by pointing their RSS reader to your RSS file.

That is basics covered. I will be covering other areas in future articles as there is far too much information to fit into a single article.
