how to make an rss feed

Post by zeeko »

Okay i am supposed to make an rss feed for a friend's message board. I don't ever use RSS (i hardly know what it is). Any ideas on where to start or how to do this? i'm somewhat overwhelmed any help would be great :)

thanks!

It's just XML formed in a certain way. Plain text files containing news headers and http links to the real article. Optionally also a summary piece.

There should be RSS rules available widely on the net.

wouldn't an rss feed for a bb be a bit overwhelming? is it just for new threads or will it include updated threads? or just select threads like here: http://www.interlopers.net/
