myRSS.com is a very cool tool that allows you to create an RSS feed from any Web site without one. Depending on how well organized your site is, especially if it's blog site, the content may or may be exactly what you want. I created and tested an RSS 1.0 news feed for my personal Web site, E komo mai, and it works fine, though again, the content is not exactly accurate. myRSS will create an RSS 0.91, RSS 1.0, a "Javascript Include" and a "Microsoft SharePoint Web Part". The RSS channel is stored a la Syndic8.com by myRSS. I added my E komo mai news feed to NewzCrawler and it was accepted. The interesting part of this exercise is that a myRSS channel needs to be "sponsored", otherwise a little ad window appears for myRSS before you get to see the feed. You can, for the moment, instantly click a hyperlink in the ad window to get to the content.
