    I'm not a very experienced programmer, but can do a little. For one of my websites, I want to include RSS feeds which will pull a list of topics in the news from topics like "commercial mortgage" and "commercial real estate"

    is that difficult to do or easy to code? I have to know in advance which feed I need from it or is there a service that pulls from all news sources?

    thanks

    It is not too hard, but can be difficult if they don't provide you with an RSS. There are some RSS Reading scripts available if you have access to it.

    But this can get really complex if you want to go around collecting info from other sites.
    Basically your code should interpret the html, so you may need a class to interpret that.
    And a class to generate your feeds.
