I've searched Google, but only found information on how to setup a feedburner for wordpress or other blogging services. I've also searched stackoverflow, but not found the right information.
I'm creating a website, for which I want to have an RSS. Feedburner seems to be a good, free option - so I'd like to use that.
When I go to feedburner, using my google account, it says the website I want to claim is invalid. And it's not clear how to make it valid. I also have no experience with RSS (and really websites in general), so I'm not sure where to go from here.
What are the steps I need to take, starting from scratch, to add an RSS feed (with feedburner) to a website?
Feedburner knows how to integrate with WordPress and several others. However if your site is built using different technologies (PHP, ASP.NET), FeedBurner has no idea on how to get updates. On my websites, I create my own RSS feeds (with PHP), and then burn them using FeedBurner so I get all the extras it offers.

I might get flagged down by this question.. but still will give it a shot..
Since Google Site Search is going out of business and we are not interested in the free version of it - We decided to go with the Amazon Cloud Search option. The challenge though is - it is not straight forward. We have to build a crawler and there are some features that needs to be custom built.
I am trying to see examples where websites have used ACS and worked but i am not able to find anything good.. Have anyone tried using Amazon Cloud search for their Website search. Our website has around 15000 plus pages.
We are .net based solution - so i am thinking to write a crawler.. extract content on nightly basis and send it to Amazon. Would it be the right way?
ACS is based on Solr. If your site is under your control, i think the first step is extracting all useful content out and generate them into xml/json files, then use AWS CLI upload these documents to ACS. ACS has REST APIs to let you to get the query result. You need to define indexes before uploading them.
Hi I am running a delivery shop and using delivery.com for my shop.
I also want to have my own website which user can order service or choose delivery time on the website like delivery.com does.
I wonder if is it better to develop from scratch or can I use wordpress and customize it? or are there plugins or widgets I can use for my website?
Please give me some advice what will be the best way to build my website.
Thank you.
Well technically anything is pretty much possible in Wordpress but it won't happen out of the box, unless you already have a theme in mind which serves this purpose. I won't be surprised if there is a theme out there which you can use to do this.
Personally I would build this from scratch as you would be able to build exactly what you want and you can build it with scalability in mind as well.
Wordpress tends to fall off when the site starts getting A LOT of traffic.
Check out Ruby on Rails, you would be surprised how at how simple it can be to build something like this.
The server will go down (if) when your site will visit 1000+ persons, because one of the problem of universal script that can be used (in opinion of creators) every where is that it make 100 sql queryes to display one simple page.
I am doing an angularjs app with a nodejs-expressjs server.
I want to do an app that it's similar to a business directory.
I have doubts about if it's possible doing it SEO friendly to the all items at the directory, either by his name or his features (tags). Always having in mind that all pages are created with AngularJS.
If it is possible, how to do that dinamically.
I implemented an example that uses prerender server (this https://github.com/prerender/prerender) and the prerender-node library at the app server.
My example's pages, created by angularjs, does work (are SEO friendly, it appears at google's search)..but the pages are "static", and the directory it's going to add always new bussines to the directory that I want to appear in googles searching.
Besize, I want my app to be multi-language, and also have doubts about how to do all of that be multi-language, and if it is possible.
I hope you can help me.
If you're hosting your own Prerender server, it will serve the page "on the fly" every time Google accesses it, so it will always have the latest, dynamic content from your pages. If you're using a Prerender plugin to cache your pages, you'll need to make sure you recache them... or use our Prerender.io SaaS and we'll take care of all of the recaching for you.
It sounds like you just want Google to crawl your pages more often because of how dynamic your content might be. In order to have Google crawl your pages more often, make sure to quality inbound links from other sites to increase your PageRank.

I have a simple HTML site with 100+ pages or so. I want to add a search bar at the top so the user can search the site. I know about Google Custom Search, but it shows ads unless you pay at least $100. Obviously I'd like ad-less search on my site for free if at all possible!
I've also heard about Lucene/Solr, but they do not actually crawl the site. For that I would apparently need Nutch.
Anyway, the site I have runs on a Microsoft IIS6 server, but I have basically no knowledge as to how Solr, Nutch, etc. gets "installed" on the server.
Also: I'd like to point out that I do have a local copy of the site. Perhaps I can do one big initial nutch "crawl" locally that will create an .xml for Solr?? That would help me get "up and running", but probably wouldn't be a good long-term solution.
..so should I just use Google Custom Search? or is there a not-extremely-painful-to-implement alternative? The brain hurts folks.
You did not mention how many search requests you want to handle but if you use the json-rest-api of google's custom search you have 100 searchqueries a day for free and you can display them without any ads on your page.
An simple example request can be found here.
Here is an easy way that works pretty well, although you may be looking for something more than this.

You can create code to paste into your site in about 2 minutes. It doesn't get easier than that. Search is powered by Google, but results are isolated to your website.
EDIT: This no longer works.
What is a (free) technology which requires the least amount of code for creating a website with the following requirements:
Sign-up/login
Form for adding your personal info. which gets databased
Each person can view and edit their own info
Admin can view and edit any
The form needs to be easily customizable and extensible (by the website's owner, not during run-time)
Is there a beginner tutorial for such a thing?
(For me, this question is about a friend who wants me to do this, but I want him to do it himself so I don't have to get roped into maintenance. I also want to keep it more general for the sake of Stack Overflow and future readers.)
Edit: I thought I remembered some ASP.NET tutorials that were mostly drag/drop or things where it was all but made for you from the database schema (which can be made with SSMS's GUI) but I can't seem to find them now.
Responding to posts below requesting specifics: this site will be for potential clients to sign-up and enter their company's info and fill out a form about their advertising needs.
I thought about putting this on SU instead, but since there was likely going to be some coding involved (I assumed no-code was an unreachable goal) SO seemed more appropriate.
Your friend can consider a framework like drupal. It has a bit of a learning code but, you can create a website with everything you ask for without code. You may want to modify it to change the look but there are themes for that.
Also, some hosts like godaddy.com have this installed and you do not have to worry about the complex installation procedures. Just start modifying the content of the site, select a built in template and go...
PhpBB? I think you need to specify what the website is going to be used for before you can get better/more specific answers.
... have a look at Drupal or Joomla, expect a learning curve nevertheless.
Is this friend a programmer as well? If so, I'd suggest building such a site using a PHP framework. Deploying an existing forum/wiki is also an option of course, but will probably have much more features than you describe. But if s/he's not a programmer, I don't see how s/he will be able to develop a site like that in a reasonable amount of time.
Why not using a CMS like wordpress, drupal and co. ?
