NOTE: Hintlink has about a dozen RSS feeds. The above one is our company announcement page. Others are in our Calendar page area.
FOR WEBMASTERS and news providers - making your RSS Newsfeed to feed to your users:
Recommended: ListGarden . Runs as an exe file, which then opens in your browser. Fast, efficient, works, free. Limited in output options, though (no image file, for example).
Also: RSSBuilder. Appears to work well.
The RSS authoring Extension for Firefox is, so far, awful; crashes and fails all of our compatibility tests.
For our own feeds, we use a custom auto-generation method (written in-house) which comes from an Access database.
