RSS generator

[Peter Klausner]

I hope this is not the wrong group: I'm looking for a convenient tool
for Windows to build RSS 1.0 feeds. It could also be a plug-in for
Dreamweaver. Currently, I build the feeds manually, but every change
is a hassle..

Until now, I've only seen tools creating RSS 2.0.

Hi,

I hope this is not the wrong group: I'm looking for a convenient tool
for Windows to build RSS 1.0 feeds. It could also be a plug-in for
Dreamweaver. Currently, I build the feeds manually, but every change
is a hassle..

Why do you want to create 1.0 instead of 2.0? The trend seems to be going toward
RSS 2.0.

As a side note I use FeedForAll to generate RSS 2.0 feeds

What do you mean by "build" here ? It has to take its content from
somewhere, and the best way to do that depends on the "somewhere".
Assuming you have some form of CMS underlying the site, this is really
a question for the CMS. "Making RSS" is easy enough.

I admit that I regularly hand-code my RSS, and then generate the site
pages from it. It's easier to turn RSS into HTML than to turn HTML
into RSS (for my small and closed system)
Why do you want to create 1.0 instead of 2.0?

Because 1.0 is more advanced ?

What server-side languages do you have available? I'm pretty sure you'll
find something over at hotscripts or the other code repositories. Or you
could salvage the RSS-generator piece from one of the many available
open-source blog systems.

I'm using my own crummy little PHP script to create RSS1.0; it doesn't
do any XML wellformedness or <gasp> validation checks, it just assumes
valid HTML and correct character encodings.
