Yes, my On-Rev site has RSS on some pages e.g.
<feed://www.troz.net/rss/tech.xml>

An RSS page is just a text file containing XML in a specific format.
How you construct it depends on your data, but on the page I quote
above, I have a text file for each pot on the page, the rss generator
loops through these files and constructs the rss data from the
relevant bits of each file.

Search for RSS specifications to see which elements you need to
include and which are optional.

If you want to see my scripts, let me know and I can send them to you off-list.

Cheers,
Sarah
