Do you have a simple, plain old news-based page? Want to provide an RSS feed for it? Here's how:
Warning: This doesn't actually work yet -- it's just a thought experiment at this point...
Let's say you've got something like this:
<p><b>The Incredible Day</b> This is my little blog. It tells about the <a href="myStory">incredible things</a> I do.<br /> - 2/19/2001 02:38:33 PM</p>
To make it into an RSS feed, you just need to add a few things. First, separate each entry on your site with an "item" tag:
<div class="item"><p><b>The Incredible Day</b> This is my little blog. It tells about the <a href="myStory">incredible things</a> I do.<br /> - 2/19/2001 02:38:33 PM</p></div>
Now, point out the title:
... <p><b class="title">The Incredible Day</b> This is my ...
And mark the link as the one you want to go in the RSS file:
... It tells about the
<a href="myStory" rel="details">incredible things</a> I do. ...
Lastly, point out the date of the entry:
... - <span class="date">2/19/2001 02:38:33 PM</span> ...
Now, you're all done:
<div class="item"><p><b class="title">The Incredible Day</b> This is my little blog. It tells about the <a href="myStory" rel="details">incredible things</a> I do.<br /> - <span class="date">2/19/2001 02:38:33 PM</span></p></div>
