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

Highlighted by jagodakatarzyna

The easiest way to create an RSS file is to copy someone else's. You don't need to worry about this; you will be replacing all of their content, and the format of the file is freely licensed for use by anyone. Here is a short, simple template file you can use:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> <rss version="0.91"> <channel> <title>OLDaily</title> <link>http://www.downes.ca/news/OLDaily.htm</link> <description>OLDaily - By Stephen Downes </description> <language>en-us</language> <image> <title>Stephen's Web</title> <url>http://www.downes.ca/images/rss.gif</url> <link>http://www.downes.ca</link> <width>90</width> <height>36</height> </image> <item> <title>Attack Update</title> <link>http://www.downes.ca</link> <description> OK, here's where we stand. I have no email into or out of downes.ca - this means that if you are sending me email to stephen@downes.ca it will fail. It also means that newsletter mailouts are failing (at least, I think they're failing...). Additionally, all scheduled processes have terminated, which means that Edu_RSS will be updated manually. I have no tech support until at least tomorrow, so it looks like we'll be limping along like this for a bit. Again, please note, email sent to me at downes.ca is not reaching me.

We are back for now but things are still touch and go. I'll keep you posted. By Stephen Downes, July 21, 2003 </description> </item> </channel> </rss>

Feedity (www.feedity.com) seems to be a much simpler and quicker approach at building instant custom RSS feeds from ANY webpage
