Question

RSS Feed

Hi all,

I'm rather new to RSS and have a question about implementing it. I understand that one of the purposes behind RSS is to notify subscribers when a page or section of a website is updated/changed, correct? If that's the case, here's my question:

I have a ColdFusion page that contains calendar dates pulled from a database. This page will probably change every day and I would like to offer my visitors the ability to subscribe to the page so they know when it's updated. Is this possible? Could someone point me in the right direction for creating this?

Thanks in advance.

    I don't think you need RSS for this.

    For normal page browsing, just run your query every time and the user will see the most current info.

    For notification, decide what your reporting criteria is and run a scheduled job. If the criteria is met, send the notice.
