How to create an RSS feed if you don't already have one

No RSS Feeds??  We won’t leave you hanging…Here are a few options if you need to create Feeds for your App.

1. Use Posterous, which is great for adding content, simply by sending an email to a special email address or by posting from your computer.  It's free and easy to set up:  Check out the video about setting up RSS feeds using Posterous at http://vimeo.com/7069936 (also embedded below)

2. Set up a Wordpress blog (www.Wordpress.com), a Blogger blog (www.Blogger.com) or any other type of blog; for the most part, RSS Feeds are automatically created within all blog types.

3. There are other options out there, especially if you already have a Content Management System such as Drupal.  Also plugins or specific pieces of software can be used to accomplish the same thing.  

The two options above are free and easy, but you may find that more integrated (but expensive) options work better for your infrastructure.

Do you know how to remove the "permalink" in the Posterous RSS feed? I'd prefer that this not to show.

If you have domain expertise on a particular subject and you know what your audience likes then try http://www.moderationmarketplace.com. It is an aggregator that pulls in content based on RSS feeds and keywords you input and then lets you output your own RSS feeds based on the tags you apply to the content you feel is appropriate for your audience.
