I am new to working with RSS feeds and I have a question that about RSS feeds in general.

I have been testing an online RSS service called rapidfeeds. With this service I have to manually add a post to my rss feed after updating my web site with new content. While the process is not time consuming, I am wondering if there is a way for my rss feed (not necessarily using rapidfeeds) to automatically update when I update my web site. So instead of it being a two step process (Step 1 - update my web site, Step 2 - update my rss feed using rapidfeeds), it would be a one step process (update my web site and my rss feed updates automatically.

I hope what I am asking makes sense. I am just trying to learn all of the options that are available in creating rss feeds.

I welcome any insight or thoughts on this topic.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Good question! I'd like to know if there's something too, for my newsletter feed.

There must be because apps like WordPress do it automatically.

I'm sure there are probably some scripts out there that one could upload that would allow you to automate the entire process. I just can't recommend any since I've not been into the whole RSS thing other than what gets put there automatically on my blogs. HotScripts would probably have something I would assume.

That said, if you don't mind cutting and pasting, WebDevTips has an online version that makes it fairly easy.
