Well, today I’m going to try to create an RSS feed for my homepage updates. The blog one is already handily incorporated by WordPress, but I’d like to create one that involves all my updates.

Now the XML tags are pretty easy. This website, Make RSS Feeds, gives you the basics. However, what I need is one that is automatically updated when I update my website. I believe PHP is the answer. I’ve found this site: Web reference – Creating a Custom RSS Feed with PHP and MySQL. Let’s have a go!

Okay, that took me some time using the tutorial above, and the PHP code from my homepage updates…

First try in the validator brought out a few errors. I believe they are to do with the header information so I’m going to search from more help with creating an RSS feed using PHP.

So an hour later, I’ve managed to get it to work – excellent! Seems like the tutorial I followed had a few things in it that was causing me problems, although I’m not sure why.

Now, after some tweaking, here you go, my homepage RSS feed. Please let me know if you have any problems with it, and I will try to sort them.

Well, it’s the start of the new year, and I don’t know about you, but I could really do with a lie down somewhere. I’m not quite on a work schedule yet.

But apart from that, I’m really looking forward to this year. I have quite a few projects that I’m enjoying, and I’m looking forward to getting far more creative stuff done this year. You know what? I think I’m going to go make a list!
