Re: very basic question



this has been very helpful indeed. Its somehow not so easy to get the big picture, 
while treading water in an ocean of details...;-)

In between I've read/heard/seen a very nice tutorial by Craig Burton 
http://www.craigburton.com/2001/04/18 which helped as well. I even managed to 
publish and read RSS directly between a web site and my Radio desktop!

OK, what if I want news to be syndicated from a web site not to a desktop machine but 
to another web site? Say I'd publish news regualarly on my site and would like people 
to subscribe to it and re-publish these (my) news on their web site? I suppose that 
some Java or Javascript thingys would do the translation from RSS to html. Is this 
right, and could you point me to such scripts, if they exist?

Tkx many in advance,
Manfred
