Re: [syndication] Where do you think I should start?

["Bill Kearney" <ml_yahoo@ideaspace.net>]

Ben Hammersley's got a book coming out in April.  Meanwhile there is a Chapter
in the XML Handbook that discusses RSS.

As for 'rolling your own' it's not terribly hard.  But consider there are a
number of subtleties to XML that can trip you up.  Things like case sensitivity
and character encoding are important.  Then it's just a matter of putting
'enough' data into your feed that makes it useful.  There are channel header
things and extra item things.  Start by looking at the reference section I
manage on Syndic8.com:
http://www.syndic8.com/documents.php

That should give you enough to get things going.
