A Bridge is a class that allows RSS-Bridge to create an RSS-feed from a website. A Bridge represents one element on the Welcome screen and covers one or more sites to return feeds for. It is developed in a PHP file located in the bridges/ folder (see Folder structure) and extends one of the base classes of RSS-Bridge:
