Re: Got lost on rss

Hi Danny,

Thanks for responding, I've searched all over for any option.
See below...

mysql batabase custom made

I did all the xhtml layout and style .

yes

That's what I found out, I still need to gather content.

I don't do php, I could handle a mod or add on example.

I think I have Python but I don't see the pyxml. I didn't understand the first thing about 
setting it up, getting what I want from xhtml appeared simple, but not the setting it up 
part. Are there any simple instructions on what to change and where it all goes?

I'd be happy to try this if I knew what to do, I don't know how to get the correct page url.

I also found http://www.bitfolge.de/rsscreator-en.html

and this, but then realized this is an aggregator too, unless I can get what I need to join 
feeds into its own mysql, combine table contents into a table for rss? But then I have no 
idea how to get the url.

I'm trying to start with articles under topics, maybe more later.
