I know how RSS works from a user POV, but not from a web dev POV. Obviously the feed AND the news page will show the same info/data. So does that mean that I create an .xml file(the RSS feed), which the "news" page will parse in order to populate its contents AND expose a direct link to the .xml file for users to subscribe to?
To put in other words, how do I actually implement this?

Re: Site talk
You mean you wanna cache the whole feed. so you don't need to process it fro WebUI?

W-w-what?
I'm totally lost.
The webpage could have RSS, and actually it's real easy.
If the site allows some cron script to be run, that is.
Otherwise I could make a client side python that you could run (Sledge) after each news and it would generate the entries. (And add a line to the file.)
