        From Bank Clerk to Entreprenuer
        What seems like a century ago, I left school and joined a well-known High Street Bank. In those days working as a bank clerk was a well-established route for many school leavers and perceived to be a proper job with prospects. It wasn’t long before I became disillusioned with the world of banking and sought a change of job.

        Creating The XML File

        The format of an RSS file is very simple.

        At its most basic it contains (within the main tags) a 'title', a 'link' and a 'description' tag followed by a series of 'item' tags.

        Each 'item' tag, representing a unique news or data article, contains at least 3 other tags - one each for the article's title, a link to the article and a description of the article.

        Generating the RSS file is simply a case of extracting the relevant data from the database, building it up to match the template above and saving the resulting file on the server. Any of the popular scripting languages can be used for this process.

        Using Our RSS Feed

        You can't comfortably read the contents of a feed by looking at the raw file in a browser. To do that you need a news aggregator program.

        Aggregators let you include all your favourite feeds so that you end up with a page containing only content that interests you
