Topic: How to make an RSS feed for my site.

I'd like to create an RSS feed for my site so that readers can get their gaming news and articles easily, like what RSS and Atom feeds should do. I've Googled, Wikipedia'd, the whole schabang, and still don't quite understand how to implement one onto a website. I have a feed reader, and get feeds daily, but I don't know how to make an RSS feed. Any help on the concept would be appreciated.

Re: How to make an RSS feed for my site.

I did this about a year ago for the news feeds on FreeSquid.org.  Things may have changed since then, but at the time these were good:

* SitePoint tutorial on Parsing RSS 1.0 -- http://www.sitepoint.com/article/php-xm … ng-rss-1-0
* MagpieRSS parser (sourceforge) -- http://magpierss.sourceforge.net/
* MyHeadlines webscraper (sourceforge) -- http://sourceforge.net/projects/myheadlines/

Oh wait -- you want to create a feed.  Sorry, I misunderstood.  In that case, try reading the post in the thread I mentioned earlier where the guy (Kev) gives the basic code for writing your own feed.  You also might try studying the feed generator for punBB.  I think it's in the extern.php file.
