Why write the file? Why not dynamically generate the feed when it's requested by a reader?

That's how I do it anyhow. My site (personal travel website) doesn't have daily updates, so, I actually create the xml's manually from the CMS (button excecuting the 'create rss feed' functionality). However, you obviously can chuck that into a scheduled task or even automatically output the xml file after every change to the DB. I reckon, that depends on your business needs. Dunno, maybe there are better ways to do it. It works for me though and the RSS feed is actually used quite a bit. Good luck. a. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 20/04/2007 9:38:22 am >>> I'd like to add a couple of RSS Broadcast Channels to a site. Easiest way seems to be: 1. Create an admin page for add/edit items to database 2. Any change to the database uses cffile to write a new properly formatted XML file to the server. Almost seems too easy, therefor I *know* I'm missing something.
