    If you have to update your visitors on the news from your website then you have to create an RSS feed.

    You can use RapidFeeds.com to create a feed.

    ok. YOu can display rss on HTML sites also. YOu have to modify the .htaccess. Search the web for the those parameters. but since you have already created a PHP site, you go with the PHP. Feedburner is good. I use magpieRSS for displaying the feeds - pretty simple instructions to follow.

    You can get newsfeeds through rss for your site for the relevant content you subscribe for.

    You should get a feed as long as the site updates constantly content-wise

    Adding newsfeed from trustful source add credibility to your site and gives your visitors extra stuff to stick with.

    Web page owners can use RSS to announce page updates and new content additions -- it is well suited for that purpose. In addition to keeping visitors apprised of changes, RSS feeds may lead to greatly increased visitation and page loads.

    I recommend you visit: How to Create an RSS Feed With Notepad, a Web Server, and a Beer

    Also check: http://www.rapidfeeds.com/

    Others have already prescribed Google Feedburner to manage the feed.

    I personally use a RDF/XML feed because I use RDF for much of my Web page data management and micro content searching, therefor I am more familiar with it. Many (maybe most?) Web authors prefer and use Atom/RSS for their feeds -- it is all a matter of taste. There are many ways to skin the RSS cat.

    You must include the following in the header of your Web page in order to utilize the live feed icon on the address bar of Browsers:

    <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Description" href="filename.ext"> (substitute your own data for italicised items)

    Check out my home page to see this in action.

    I have installed a live RSS Feed information section on my Home Page that illustrates three schemes for using feeds to automatically disseminate page update information to subscribers.
