    I have been reading alot here about RSS and the technology seems to be the way to go but it certainly is intimidating for the newbie!

    This thread really helped get me started with getting RSS feed on a page:

    Thanks to all for that.

    this tutorial:

    talks about the various RSS versions. My question is what rss version would you choose and why? Simplicity is a priority for me. The following is a qoute from the tutorial:

    I don't know if there is a standard, but most readers do fine with 2.0 However if you did your feed in 1.0 you would have similar funcionality, and a reader that could read 2.0 would be able to raed 1.0 also.
