As a total rookie at this, I am currently wrestling with making an RSS
item visible on a website by an RSS reader. Would someone who regularly
and successfully posts an item to a blog or something similar kindly
send me a copy of one of their small postings (the code) for uploading
to the site so I can see where I am going wrong? I have read some of the
literature on this but seem to be missing something very fundamental.
The above email address - rifty@tpg.com.au - is genuine.

S'OK. I figured it out by myself, by a tortuous process of trial and
error.

As with so many other things in computing, once you've done it once, you
wonder why it seemed so hard the first fifty times!.....

The following article details the steps to take to promote RSS feeds -
http://www.feedforall.com/create-promote-rss.htm #4 contains information to
auto-detect feeds.

Best of luck

Many thanks, Tim. Much appreciated. I have also gone to the web and done
a bit more research. I am such a non-RTFM person that I waste a lot of
time trying things before doing the homework. (Mind you, I DO learn a
lot of other things on the way....)
