Okay, I want to create an RSS feed using news items I post on my site.
1. These are basically news bits coming from other sites that all relate to the same subject. Are there any copyright issues by using these in my RSS feed?
2. I have created a RSS feed and validated it. However, I have one question on how this whole thing works. So far, I have an ASP script that generates the RSS tagged content. How would I advertize this feed, by pointing to the *.asp or would I have to generate a specific file?
3. How do I make sure the updating process work like it should, that they see the latest records and such?
Here is a snippet of it:
<rss version="2.0">
<channel>
<title>TheVirtualGoalie.com</title>
<link>http://www.thevirtualgoalie.com/</link>

As the guid, I'm using the url of the site to make sure it's unique.
Any other thing I should be aware of? Comments? Thanks!
