I am pretty new to the whole XML stuff. But what I am wanting to do is this:
I want to create news on my golf site. And have another site link to it using xml. Just a basic design like:
Current Golf News
Date: Link:
8/10/04 Golf is awsome
8/14/04 Tiger woods is on one!
So what I need to know, is how excatly to create the .xml file I will be using, and what does the other webmaster need to know to display my .xml file on there site?
I did up a small type .xml file.. is this wrong?
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
"8/4/10"
"AzodGolf.com"
"8/4/10"
"AzodGolf.com"

Is this a rss newsfeed?
If so, I think this is what you'd want...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><rdf:RDF>
<channel>
<date>"8/4/10"</date>
<link>"AzodGolf.com"</link>
<date>"8/4/10"</date>
<link>"AzodGolf.com"</link>
</channel>
</rdf:RDF>

Take a look at http://freedomink.org/node/view/62
Sorry if this isn't what you're doing.
gotta finish redesigning my sites so I can show them again.

RSS newsfeed, perfect. Yea that is what I am wanting.
So lets say now that I created this .xml file with the above Code.
How do I display that on my .asp or .htm site? The link you gave me showed how to do it via PHP.

I've never done an rss feed myself, but doing a simple google search there seems to be tons of great information on the subject.
There's a nice introduction to rss at http://www.mnot.net/rss/tutorial/.
I'm sure you can get lots of info and links from this site.
Best of luck! Sounds like a fun project.
Looks like Abhishek Reddy and I were posting at the same time.
See... lots of great info out there.

Also, it seems you want to create a feed yourself too. These articles explain how:

*phew* some confusing stuff here I guess lol
I created an .xml file: azodusa.com/golf/golfrss.xml
and from what I learned on these sites, THIS should work:
<?php=getXML("http://www.azodusa.com/golf/golfrss.xml")
?>
for any .asp page wanting to display my feed. But when I try it on my page I get this:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d'
Type mismatch: 'getXML'
/golf/testrss.asp, line 4
any ideas?

I'm not sure... your xml page is the one displaying a parsing error.
Did you put the xml code at the top like this...
<?xml version="1.0" ?>'gotta finish redesigning my sites so I can show them again.

Ok I redid the xml file: azodusa.com/golf/golfrss.xml
But I am having trouble on how to link this stuff on an external .htm file. I can't find any good information on any of these links on how to do it. Most have it on .asp, but I know it's possible on an .htm file. Any ideas on that?

You'll have to set the server up to parse .htm first as ASP and then return HTML.
Or you could use an ASP or other server-side script to parse the XML file and create another HTML-compatible file, which you finally include into your main HTML page using SSI (server-side includes).
Another possibility is to use that same ASP parsing script, but to include the HTML code using frames... avoid this method if you can. Frames aren't a good idea.
