It is very specific to iSyndicate's XML. I wanted to
write something that does not rely on MSXMLDOM (possible
memory leak issues which the sys.admin. here would harass
me over if it does happen ;) ).
Anyway, attached is the set of modules that do what I
said they are suppose to do. ;) Look into modules/makeWDDX.cfm
for the iSyndicate XML -> WDDX conversion. makeWDDX.cfm relies
on parseTag_newsfeed.cfm and parseTag_channel.cfm (probably
the naming of the submodules could be better ;)).
Any questions or comments are welcome. :)

Hi James
I'd be interested to see how you're doing step 2 (the XML -> WDDX part).
Could you post your code to the list?

Getting Started
===============
Look into /config/Feed.cfm to set up your feed info.
Ignore the Format member. It is TekBay specific. ;)
Run grabnews.cfm. All logs are kept in the log folder.
The code should be fairly easy to understand.
