Tutorial Sites or Advice on Setting Up RSS News Feeds?

DeluxeNames

I'm getting ready to set up RSS news feeds from either Google or Yahoo (or maybe from somewhere else) on a site and wondered if anyone can point me to a site that has advice on this or a tutorial for it.

What RSS news feeds do you guys like the best?

Well, I don't often use RSS feeds myself (I have a few feeds set up in my Firefox favourites toolbar, but since I have an extension which opens my previous tab set, they are mostly used for sites like A List Apart and Solar Dream Studios, which aren't frequently updated).

If you're generating feeds, RSS 2.0 and Atom are the main ones to look into supporting, but since feeds are just XML files, generating any feed will be easier once you know how to build the XML (I have my Rails blogging system building RSS 2.0 feeds for me).

If you want to hook an existing feed into a site to use it's content, you're going to have to learn how to extract the content from the XML and how to use that data.
