We are going to let you in on the ground floor of an exciting, not so new technology... No this is not a get-rich-quick scheme; it is more like a get-informed-quick strategy. This technology, "RSS," allows you to choose specific sources of information from the Internet, and then efficiently review the latest published information, events, data, and writings from hundreds of sources you select to monitor.

Syndicated news feeds are a way of distributing news content from a single source across the internet often as RSS or RDF format XML feeds. These feeds can then be tapped into by browsers and web sites and the information they carry can be placed on a web site using server-side scripts. As the feed provider updates the content so the content of the web page that the feed is displayed on changes with it. Research has shown that web masters hoping to make good revenues from affiliate linking on web sites achieve a great deal more by establishing a core following for their web site by providing visitors with continually updated content and therefore reasons to keep returning. So we've established that we need these feeds but what do the terms RSS and XML mean?

The SWPAP calendar collects XML from SWPAP member web sites and combines it into a database that is then displayed with SWPAP member events in chronological order.

To test how well your XML would display on the SWPAP site, you can go here (note that this a more specific test than the one found at an RSS validator; however you may want to use an RSS validator which gives helpful comments on failures if you are having any difficulty with your code).
