- Authors add the content on the website through the content management programs. These programs have a publish facility that creates the HTML files.
- These programs can even update the RSS feed XML file simultaneously. Thus they add an item that refers to the new content and then they remove old content.

- Some services even read requested websites themselves periodically and then determine changes automatically.
