How To Create An RSS Feed Made Simple

Those little orange XML icons are everywhere. RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication," and it's all the rage. The idea is pretty simple. Output some XML to the Web that content aggregators and other sites can consume and display. If you have a normal routine of sites you visit with frequent content updates (news, blogs, whatever), and each site has an RSS feed, you can at a glance see what's new at all of these sites with an aggregator.
