Your assignment from class 7 was to make an image uploading service. Hopefully you have completed that assignment.
Your in-class-assignment for this class is to publish an RSS feed for that site. Now that you are familiar with the concept of an MVC architecture, you will realize that if your site is set up in an MVC style, you will easily be able to apply different Views to the same data.
So your image uploading service will have two views: one in XHTML for web browsers, and another in RSS for RSS feed readers. I have retrofitted the blog example from class 8 so that it now has both an XHTML and an RSS view. Obviously this should be your reference for this assignment.
Additionally, your XHTML view will have a link tag that tells an RSS reader, like Google Reader, Esprsso, or NetVibes, where to find the rss version of your site.
The link tag syntax for RSS feeds is:
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="NY Times RSS Feed" href="http://nytimes.com/HomePage.xml" />
Any site that has an RSS feed specified in the link tag will show the orange rss icon in the right side of the location bar of your Firefox browser. Clicking that icon will bring you to the RSS feed in Firefox.
