    Realistically you will need to convert the site from static HTML to a programming language like ASP.Net or PHP to run code to consume the RSS feed.

    There are plenty of free scripts in all languages on how to do this.

    i think RSS feeds are terribly named - i have found nothing about them to be really simple... i think i have a mental blank where RSS feeds are concerned

    They are very simple, a basic XML file and nothing more or less.... where things become more complex is deciding how to consume them in terms of caching etc but a basic "get XML and parphase" is very simple

    RSS/Atom feeds can be used to announce web page updates and new content additions.

    Web Author RSS Tutorial is an excellent overview of RSS/Atom that answers most basic questions. The following are good basic references:

    Google Feed 101 *

    Reading, Publishing & Using RSS/Atom Feeds (part of preceding page but important enough to read again)

    How to Create an RSS Feed With Notepad, a Web Server, and a Beer

    Rapid Feeds - RSS for Everyone

    FeedBurner (Google) *

    * Note that Google has acquired FeedBurner and is now promoting RSS feeds for disseminating updated Web Page content.

    Most modern Browsers also function as feed readers. If you see this little orange icon [​IMG] displayed in a Browser header menu bar (often the address window) it indicates there is an RSS feed available. Clicking on the icon will display a Live Bookmark window (which may contain links to updated content, depending on how your Browser is configured). You can then either just read the feed or subscribe to it in which case the icon will display in your Browser header accompanied by the feed title. The bookmarked icon remains visible and usable in your Browser until removed (via a mouse right click) ........ you can check for automatic content updates for bookmarked pages by simply clicking on the appropriate icon at any time.

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