That could be done, but I'm about to implement the same type of system and with thousands upon thousands of requests for a seldom-changing feed, I'll be statically writing each feed (I'll have multiple) once per day to lessen the load on the server, rather than creating the same file repeatedly for each request.

Why not dynamically generate the feed when it's requested by a reader?

That's how I do it anyhow. My site (personal travel website) doesn't have daily updates, so, I actually create the xml's manually from the CMS (button excecuting the 'create rss feed' functionality). However, you obviously can chuck that into a scheduled task or even automatically output the xml file after every change to the DB. I reckon, that depends on your business needs. Dunno, maybe there are better ways to do it. It works for me though and the RSS feed is actually used quite a bit. Good luck. a. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 20/04/2007 9:38:22 am >>> I'd like to add a couple of RSS Broadcast Channels to a site. Easiest way seems to be: 1. Create an admin page for add/edit items to database 2. Any change to the database uses cffile to write a new properly formatted XML file to the server. Almost seems too easy, therefor I *know* I'm missing something.
