1.) Which version of RSS is best suited for rss newbs like myself?
2.) Do I have to update my RSS feeds if I manually update my pages manually?
4.) Besides the basic news items, what is the basic (AND valid) code for the version of RSS you're suggesting?
3.) I've got ids for each div that contains news, now how do I translate that in to the RSS?
Here is how my code is currently structed for each news item I have on my news page...
<div id="news-2-09-2005-1">
<h2>Monday, February 9th</h2><h6> ~ </h6><h4>A bounch of words!</h4>
<p>Words, words words and more words.
Words, words, words, and more words.
Words, words, words, and more words.
Words, words, words, and more words.</p>
</div>
The reply notification still doesn't work but I'll keep an eye out on the post. I figure this stuff should be simple enough but none of the tutorals written seem to be able to explain something so simple in full.
If I have several items on a page how would I link them using the ID in the divs they are contained within?
I can only assume these are easy questions ... is this just not a very active forum of WW?
Here's a typical example that does most of what you want an RSS feed to do: [csmonitor.com...] .
2) If you're manually updating pages, you'll need to manually update your RSS feed, just like any other page (although you can get tools to make it easier).
4) You need to use the ID of the div as the link, for instance <link>http://example.com/index.html#news-2-09-2005-1</link>
Hope this helps -- good luck!
