Got lost on rss

Problem: I have database tables each new record has a new url : article_id=257
eg: articles.php, letters.php, bills.php
xhtml
<div class="fullcontent"><h2>Article</h2><h3>title</h3><h4>author</h4>....

I set up Magpie okay, but didn't know how to get url and title.
I tried add on's, but they ask for the url & title.
I found xpath2rss, although its too deep for me, I do know enough xhtml that it makes 
sense. I arrived at ZVON.org and now I'm totally out of my depth.

I'm trying to work on this:
<channel id="test">
  <rss:link>_http_/articles.php</rss:link>
  <rss:title>Test cache</rss:title>
  <item path="//div[@fullcontent]/h3">
    <rss:link path="@href"/>
    <rss:title path="descendant::text()"/>
  </item>
</channel>

Either I need something that works with Magpie, although I don't really understand what it 
all does. Or does xpath2rss do everything I need, or do I need both to make the rss work?

This is the closest I've got to getting rss feed from the database, I'm not a backend 
developer, I need a working example to follow or simple instructions to piece together or a 
volunteer with experience.

Your help is appreciated, I'm determined to get through this.
