Ok, I've been searching the web for, well, about 1 year. So before you reply with something like, here, read this article and get familiar with RSS first, or, just use feedburner, please know, I have. I don't understand why there doesn't seem to be a simple solution out there, but I can't seem to find it. Which is why I have come here. Hopefully, someone can help me. How do professional sites like Yahoo and CNN create their RSS feed that automatically updates when they post a new story? How blogs made to where they automatically update the RSS feed when a new post is made. I have a blog, and it came with RSS built in. So, I don't have to do anything, I just make a new post and it takes care of updating the RSS file for me. How? Who knows, I just know it does it. I want to create an RSS feed for my main site for just a certain section of the site. For example, anything in between the tags <div id="news"></div> I want to automatically be made into an rss feed. I've found a couple scripts claiming to do this, but, I'm not a coder so even after installing them on my site, they didn't seem to work right. Is there a simple script out there that will allow me to tell the script that I want anything in between those tags (<div id="news"></div>) to be published to myfeed.xml, for example? I know this is possible because the site I am using temporarily www.feed43.com does exactly what I'm wanting to do. It "scrapes" my site and spits out the content in between those tags and makes an RSS feed out of it. As I understand, feedyes or yesfeed and a few other sites do the same thing. So, you may be wondering, hey man, if you're using feed43.com right now, and it does what you want, what's the problem? Well... the problem is, I don't like relying on remotely hosted scripts... I like everything to run on my site. Why? I dunno, I guess I'm just worried that feed43.com will shut down for example, then I'm back to square one. If I have a script installed on my site that does what feed43.com does for me, then it's all self contained on my site and I don't have to worry about anything like that. Basically I want an HTML to RSS script. Yes I can use feedburner or this feed43.com but... but... but... I really want it all hosted on my site! To get even more basic, I just want an RSS feed. That automatically updates when my index.html page updates. I don't want to have to always manually update the rss feed. Any suggestions?
It could ofcourse help to tell us wich software you use for you site? Then WordPress for instance already has a feed posiblities for categories build in. http://www.bloggingpro.com/archives/2005/01/27/wordpress-category-feeds/
Did you ever find a script focused on websites? wordpress was mentioned but I havent found anything on websites.
