It'd be nice to have an RSS feed for new games. :)

I've thought about that for a long time, but I've never been able to find a free, step-by-step guide to adding RSS to a website on the internet. Everyone wants me to buy a program that will handle syndication for me, or use a free program that will create the feeds without showing me what it's doing. It's like they're trying to keep this stuff a secret!

If anyone can teach me how to add RSS to the site, I can do it immediately.

The best things in life can be self-taught. I've added an RSS feed to the site, which will inform everyone when there is a new news item. I don't have any previous experience with RSS, so please tell me if it works the way you want and expect it to.

I put the entire update list into the RSS feed because I couldn't decide how far back to go. I'm not sure what the protocol on this sort of thing is. Should it only go back 5 or 10 updates? I'm new at this, so I appreciate feedback from anyone who has experience with RSS.
