Hi.

I know almost nothing about web development, but I managed to create a simple website. Now I would like it to provide a RSS or Atom feed of some selected pages.

Do you know about any program to easily create a RSS or Atom feed?

Thank you!

Are you using a CMS? WordPress, Drupal and Joomla surely have Atom/RSS feed modules.

Otherwise, this is GPLed - but has not had any commit for 5 years:

Thank you. It's a static site done with Sphinx. So I'm not sure if any of those solutions would work for me.

I made a very simple html thing I copied and it works, but it is quite poor, the feed only shows a description text I have to enter manually per each page. I would rather have something showing automatically everything (format, images, etc) like in http://trisquel.info/en/node/feed

> Sphinx

Maybe you could use one of these then:

Yes, those are ok, but I prefer to stick with my vanilla Sphinx, as they change many things of my existing work which I don't know how to fix.

I think for the time being I'll keep my manual configuration with my poor description.

Thank you anyway!

Half problem solved. I did not know I could insert HTML stuff between the two description tags!
So it is still manual, but it does not need to be poor anymore.
