An RSS feed is basically an XML file, for example:

Code: [ Select ]
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<rss version="2.0">

<channel>

  <title>My RSS Feed</title>
  <description>This is my RSS feed. Great isn't it</description>
  <link>YOUR WEBSITE ADDRESS HERE</link>

  <item>

   <description>It was a great moment when earlier today mitradebanjan9 created his first RSS feed for all the world to see</description>
   <link>YOUR WEBSITE ADDRESS HERE/item-link.html</link>

  </item>

</channel>

</rss>
  1. <?xml version="1.0" ?>
  2. <rss version="2.0">
  4. <channel>
  6.   <title>My RSS Feed</title>
  7.   <description>This is my RSS feed. Great isn't it</description>
  8.   <link>YOUR WEBSITE ADDRESS HERE</link>
  10.   <item>

  17. </channel>
  19. </rss>


This can be generated manually by creating a file called rss.xml, for example, and manually adding items to this file. Or, if you know a language such as PHP, you could loop through a MySQL table containing news articles and add generate an XML file on-the-fly.

Do you know a programming language? What will your RSS feed contain?

Let me know if you need any more help with this.

This was my go-to page when I began writing RSS feed generators for my sites. http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/rss/rss.html It includes fairly detailed descriptions of each XML element in an RSS feed.
Strong with this one, the sudo is.
