This is a really cool tutorial showing you how to create some smooth animated menus using the JQuery library.
In this tutorial, I will present how to make a new RSS feed in your site. I’ll explain the implementation issues, with different options (from easy or no coding t hard coding, etc) to perform the implementation. It is designed for ay people- non-programmers to programmers to design a RSS feed.
Ok, first I’ll present the big picture of the desired RSS feed.
A) Big Picture : First I’ll show what I want to make. The overall view is essential to present the RSS look-and-feel to your boss or administrator before doing any coding.

However, if you want to program, keep on reading. I’ll touch every options to make your RSS workable and efficient.
C) Main RSS feed (The XML one!)
The left part of Figure 1 is actually the main RSS feed to be used in a website. It’s a XML file that Internet Explorer and many others can read and parse and present accordingly (with subscription link as well).
Tools like ‘Feed editor’ (need to be activated after a period), RSSEditor (free), etc can be used to make a RSS feed (xml file). You’ll put that xml file into your site and it works fine. However, you need to validate RSS feed using a plugin of those tools (if available) or different free validator around the web. You can get many such validators after doing a little searching in the web.
