    I have been looking for a free rss writer but haven't had any luck. Looks like they all charge.

    So I was thinking of creating my own RSS feed. Basically, I was just going to use the basic syntax below.

    Can you tell me if I"m missing anything out of here? (Like which dates are essential?>

    Or can you tell me of a completely free RSS writer that will do this for me?

    Thx for the help.

    <rss version="2.0">
    <channel>
    <title>Web Site Titel</title>
    <description>Web Site Description</description>

    <item>
    <title>Item Title</title>
    <description>
    Here is where you put the description.
    </description>
    <link>
    http://www.url.com/folder
    </link>
    </item>

    </channel>
    </rss>

    There is a tutorial on how to hand create a feed at:
    Make RSS Feeds - http://www.make-rss-feeds.com/

    I however would recommend using software like FeedForAll makes it MUCH easier.

    I think I'm finally figuring it out. I want to do it myself, becuause I have a spreadsheet where I build all my twitter posts, update page posts and rss posts together. This helps me time-mgt-wise as I can do everything all in one shot.

    The real problem is not complexity but the fact that all the software selling places put themselves at the top of the search engines and deliberately don't tell you everything you need to know so you'll have to buy their software.

    Any tips, though, are much appreciated...
