How to find an opds link?
TangoThomas
I am looking to create an opds feed for my website www.BristoleBooks.co.uk
and am building it by hand (I didn't want to use Calibre2opds as it's
a website I created without it). However, despite the stated
simplicity, I'm struggling to create the opds catalogue, and am
finding it very time consuming (probably because I'm not a
programmer)!
How are opds feeds found, once a feed is put onto a website?
Does a feed link have to be in the <head> section of the html, or in
the <body> too? Or is either acceptable?
Thanks, Thomas

You might be interrested by the "Discovering OPDS Catalog" section in the spec.
http://opds-spec.org/specs/opds-catalog-1-0-20100830/#Discovering_OPDS_Catalogs
As of today, people generally type in the full url to the catalog in
OPDS compliant readers (ex : http://www.feedbooks.com/catalog.atom).
OPDS is largely based on atom. If you are note already familiar with
it it might make it more difficult for you to build your own catalog.
