If you're not familiar with what RSS is about, see http://www.webreference.com/authoring/languages/x... for a quick intro (you don't need to bother reading about the syntax, as WSN Links handles that for you).

WSN Links makes an RSS feed available through the file rssfeed.php. The feed contains a url, title and description. These feeds work basically like toplists. Just as for toplists, you can specify the ordering and type and number of items listed by tacking the info onto the end of the URL.

For example:

rssfeed.php?type=links&number=5&field=time&ascdesc=descending

This URL would give a feed of 5 links, ordered by newest first. If you wanted a feed of 10 comments, you could use

rssfeed.php?type=comments&number=10&field=time&ascdesc=descending

To do only regular links, you'd use

rssfeed.php?type=links&number=5&field=time&ascdesc=descending&thecondition=type='regular'

To do a feed for a specific category, you would use rssfeed.php?thecondition=catid=10 for category #10. If on the 'show links in category' template simply use the {CATID} template variable to make it show for every category (catid={CATID}).

Note that only words should be quoted in the condition part of a url, never numbers.

Note that you can do a random order with field=rand()

Note that the RSS stylesheet is at rss.css.

[Links Only]If you wish to have the feed link to the link details page instead of to the destination url, pass &usedetails=1 in the URL.
[/Links Only]

If you want static versions of these feeds for lower server load, you can use the 'static file generation' area of your admin panel to have a static version of the specific URL you desire saved.

Note that if you're looking to use a complex filtering condition you need to use URL-legal characters, meaning spaces become %20, such as

rssfeed.php?thecondition=catid=6%20OR%20parentids%20LIKE%20'%|6|%'

Types of feeds you can specify in the url:
type=links - links
type=categories - categories
type=comments - comments
type=cal - calendar events

In order to save server load, you may want to make static copies of key feeds. You can use Admin -> Misc -> Static File Generation for that.
