There's also a terrific tutorial on easycfm.com under the "tutorials" 
section.

feedvalidator.org is a amazing resource!

Colin,

Below is an example of how to create a simple RSS feed in CF.  Just 
need to run a loop over the <item> tag for all of your content.

Here are some links for reference:

Hope this helps!

    Just curious - does anyone have a good resource for creating an
    rss.xml file from a cold fusion query.
     
    Thanks
