    An RSS feed is nothing more than data put out in an XML format, with some specific tags. If you view the source of that feed (and others), you should be able to figure out how to put it together.

    -tg
    * I don't respond to private (PM) requests for help. It's not conducive to the general learning of others.*
    * I also don't respond to friend requests. Save a few bits and don't bother. I'll just end up rejecting anyways.*

    In addition, you RSS is data feed and contains no information about presentation (i.e: colour). In general I believe that in browsers specify the layout, however it might be possible to to specify an XSL of CSS style sheet.

    Have a look at this link for XSL specifications and info: http://www.rss-specifications.com/
    PHP || MySql || Apache || Get Firefox || OpenOffice.org || Click || Slap ILMV || 1337 c0d || GotoMyPc For FREE! Part 1, Part 2

    | PHP Session --> Database Handler * Custom Error Handler * Installing PHP * HTML Form Handler * PHP 5 OOP * Using XML * Ajax * Xslt | VB6 Winsock - HTTP POST / GET * Winsock - HTTP File Upload

    The "yellow" thing you're referring to is, I assume, the RSS icon in your browser. Once you create your RSS feed, you should create a <link> in your page's <head> to specify the location of the feed. For example, this page has the following link:

    Code:
    <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="VBForums RSS Feed" href="external.php?type=RSS" />
    The browser reads this and appropriately displays the 'yellow' icon.
