How to add the RSS/Atom feed icon to browser URL?

I have always wondered how the web browser recognizes if an RSS/atom feed is available in a page.

Today I just found out about and here is how you do it. We just need to add a similar code inside the head tag.

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS" href="http://blogs.alagukannan.cm/feed/" />

As simple as that for Atom feeds we have to just change the type to “application/atom+xml”. We can add as many as links like these.
