Hi.. I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this question, but is there a way to add an RSS feed directly to your site, with a page created by your self without going through one of those 'free-dowload-code' sites or widget sites? I only ask because, I was wondering whether this would make the rss feeds dowload any faster.
Please inform me

This article is lengthy, but explains it all very well: http://searchenginew...ml?page=2175271

No, you are!

For your edification, here's how I do it on one of my sites (with PHP):

$get_latest = $db->query("SELECT * FROM spoems ORDER BY sub_time DESC LIMIT 0, 10");
if ($get_latest->num_rows > 0) {
	echo '<?xml version="1.0"?>' . $config['eol'];
	echo '<rss version="2.0">' . $config['eol'];
	echo '	<channel>' . $config['eol'];
	echo '		<title>Spoetic.com RSS</title>' . $config['eol'];
	echo '		<link>http://spoetic.com</link>' . $config['eol'];
	echo '		<description>RSS feed of the most recent spoems posted on Spoetic.com.</description>' . $config['eol'];
	echo '		<language>en-us</language>' . $config['eol'];
	$i = 0;
	while ($row = $get_latest->fetch_assoc()) {
		$pub_date = date('D, d M Y H:i:s', strtotime($row['sub_time']));
		if ($i < 1)
		{
			echo '		<pubDate>' . $pub_date . '</pubDate>' . $config['eol'];
		}
		echo '		<item>' . $config['eol'];
		echo '			<title>Spoem #' . $row['id'] . '</title>' . $config['eol'];
		echo '			<link>http://spoetic.com/view/' . $row['id'] . '/</link>' . $config['eol'];
		echo '			<description><![CDATA[' . $row['spoem'] . ']]></description>' . $config['eol'];
		echo '			<pubDate>' . $pub_date . '</pubDate>' . $config['eol'];
		echo '		</item>' . $config['eol'];
		$i++;
	}
	echo '	</channel>' . $config['eol'];
	echo '</rss>' . $config['eol'];
}

Easy as pie.
