How Do You Generate An RSS Feed?

There are several ways to generate an RSS feed:

1) Directly from your blog software (if you blog), optionally enhanced by FeedBurner or a similar service. This is how I currently generate all of my feeds.

If you haven’t chosen your blog software yet, I highly recommend WordPress. It’s got a great feature set, it’s been around long enough to have a lot of the bugs fixed, lots and lots of loyal users of other blog software have moved to WordPress because it’s so much better, and it’s free, even for commercial use. It also seamlessly supports audio enclosures (podcasting) in your RSS feed.

If you need a place to host your blog and feed, iPowerWeb is by far the best low-cost service I’ve ever seen. Everything just works, they provide great statistics, site features and documentation, lots of storage and email accounts, proper and current PHP and MySQL support (necessary for many blogs including WordPress) and their tech support folks are responsive and follow up to make sure any issue gets resolved. WordPress installs and runs like a dream on iPowerWeb. With some other hosting providers, I’ve had to rewrite PHP code and place files in all sorts of unnatural places on my site to get it to work, due to silly restrictions and limitations of the hosting providers. I’ve tried several low-cost and medium-cost hosting services and now would never use anyone but iPowerWeb.
