If on MX, but not 8, you can use Ray Camden's cfrss cfc http://cfrss.riaforge.org/
Writing the xml for the feed is only part of the project. deciding where and when to write it is another. So, a couple of implementation questions/ideas first. (I am guessing RSS generation is new to you, so wanted to give you a few alternatives.) Does the data change often? If not, a static RSS file programmatically generated may be a good approach. In your admin for adding new press releases, write a new static pressRelease.xml file each time you save or edit a press release. If it does change often, a dynamic file might be a better bet. This pulls the data and rebuilds the rss page every time it is requested, and is always fresh. Your dynamic rss file can be called pressReleaseRss.cfm (and yet return an rss feed), or if you want to get trickier (and you have control over your environment), you could go with pressRelease.rss (web.xml and iis/apache configuration needed) or /rss/pressRelease (isapi or mod rewrite). This is a comfort and experience decision for you. I am implementing my rss feeds with the ..rss extension at the moment. If you have a pressRelease.cfm page that returns the list of pressReleases as a web page already, you should also put an RSS auto-discovery tag on that page, so rss readers, spiders, and even some browsers can detect that there is an rss version of the page. This is above and beyond any rss icon or link you place on the web pages. http://www.petefreitag.com/item/384.cfm http://www.rssboard.org/rss-autodiscovery > On 9/8/07, C Broan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Hello.... > > > > I have a client that want me to add an RSS feed to their site.
