Is there any specific markup or are there best practices to adding a link to an RSS feed to a website (in regards to an <a> tag in the page body, not a <link> in the head), from either an accessibility standpoint or otherwise?

Most examples I find are an <a> tag with an href to the feed URL and no other attributes.

@wbrowar `rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"`, matching <link> when it's in <head> (<a> can have the same attributes)

@rmccue thanks, Ryan! I hadn’t seen anybody doing that but this is what I was looking to find out.

@wbrowar note: there are definitely some autodiscovery tools that’ll pick this up, but for broadest compatibility, make sure you have that <link> tag :)
