RSS output

I know it's XML but that is about the extent of my knowledge...

I have a newsletter application in which I would like to archive the newsletters as RSS feeds.

How would I do this, what would the RSS XML need to look in order for readers to read it?

I should clarify, the newsletters are already archived along with their attachments, but I've seen a few competitors include this RSS archiving functionality and figure I should throw it in there as well. :)

It's just XML in a very specific format. If you can make an XML file from your data you can do RSS as well.

Look up RSS 0.92, RSS 1.0, or RSS 2.0 . Harvard has a very useful site on the RSS 2.0 standard.

I realized it wsa a specific form of XML -- I think.

I guess whtas confusing me most is what do I put in it?

A subject line, date and content body? Or can you customize that?

Anyways I"ll Google RSS 2.0
