RSS Feeds? Anyone use them?

[hellswraith]

Hey, I had a suggestion to add an RSS feed to my forums. If you don't know what an RSS feed is, you can read about it here:

Anyway, what I am wondering is, has anyone ever done this? If so, how did you implement it?

Lethal, I would be interested in your thoughts about incorporating this into your forums, and if you ever thought about it.

I have never implemented them, but they are just xml files. So just load em up and parse using the xml classes. Loop trough the xml files getting each item node, and doing whatever with the data inside.

I was basically wondering if someone has already created some objects to interact with that encapsulates this functionality. If not, I will write them myself, then post it. I got started on it already.

Actually, that is on my wishlist, if I ever get some free time to work on it. I remeber reading a pretty good article on it at:
