just promise us that you won't use other programs rss feeds as examples as to what needs to be done. 99% of the programs out there aren't doing anything right when it comes to rss.
the #1 thing I always tell people when they want to implement rss feeds into their program is to just pull directly from their site updates. So many programs want to give you an rss feed, and all it is, is a picture of the day or a thumb and a single line of text, that is the simple mans way out. A true rss feed would have an article, or in a paysites case, a update desciption....a nice long description, probably the same description that is used in the members area, and a nice sized image.
If you ever want some input let me know, I work with rss feeds a lot and I try and work with programs on them, but most don't care, they just wanna take the easy way out, and in the end they do it wrong so their feeds don't get used.
