---- How do I start an RSS feed?

I am not a programmer (nor, for complicated reasons, do I have access to my server, which in any case is a Win2X box and only understands ASP, not PHP) so I found rincey's post a little too elaborate for my taste.

Instead I use RSS2 and update my rss feeds by hand - at this point I imagine the programmers have started banging their heads on the table - with the following template:


<rss version="2.0">
<channel>
<title>RSS Feed Title</title>
<link>http://www.mysite.com/myfeedpage.html</link>
<description>Description of Feed</description>
<language>en</language>
<copyright>Copyright 1997-2007, MySite</copyright>

<item>
<title>Item #1 Title</title>
<link>Link to Item #1</link>
<description>Description of Item #1</description>
</item>

<item>
<title>Item #2 Title</title>
<link>Link to Item #2</link>
<description>Description of Item #2</description>
</item>

</channel>
</rss>

Then, every time I update it and upload it to my webspace - usually takes about twenty seconds all in - I validate it at [feedvalidator.org ]

That's it.
