Testing RSS - ?
I'm testing my first rss feed....
I think I may have gotten the feed info right but how does the document fetch tne info in this feed? Is there something that must be placed in a target page to indicate feed info? This is what I have so far as a testing starting ground: http://www.lpow.com/feed.xml

I tried out your feed on a RSS reader and it seems to work fine.
The document (presumably you mean the html page) doesn't need to have anything extra in it for the RSS feed to recognise it. It's not really a question of the document fetching the info in the feed. The RSS data simply points at the html document, and opens the document when the title is clicked in the RSS reader. I'm no expert in this but have implemented a feed on my own site - http://www.madeforone.com/MFO2.xml. Also, I wrote an article on RSS for readers of my website at http://www.madeforone.com/features/20040817RSS.html . This might be of interest. Also, there's a handy tutorial at http://www.mnot.net/rss/tutorial . Hope this helps.

Congrats, I tested your feed and it's valid also:
http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.lpow.com%2Ffeed.xml What you can do is to add this code: <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Newsfeed" href="/feed.xml" > between <head></head>. At least people using Mozilla (Firefox) will get an RSS-icon at the bottom of their browser indicating that this website has an RSS-feed.

clasione,
I forgot to mention something in my last post: You need to be careful about the type of text you put in the <description> field for an <item>. Certain punctuation marks are not recognised by XML, for example the apostrophe - ' -. I think you've picked up on this already: "Check out whats happening" - correct. "Check out what's happening" - incorrect. RSS readers will not read an XML file if it has this type of error.
