@Patrick, I appreciated your response on reverse engineering ( using the IDE to look at the processes ) to understand the process but I can only reverse engineer something if I understand it well enough. :-)

 

A general comment. After my disappointment with this thread, I sent a pm to a friend out there last night. He responded to me within 30 mins with a suggestion of a book that helped him on such issues. I bought the book online it has detailed everything that I need to know. Though it does not cover asp.net and c# ( my platform ), it is very throrough with the web syndication covering both RSS 2.0 and Atom 1.0 formats. It also covers a full subject on creating a very basic java based aggregator so I will interpret this for my platfrom. I'm finally off to a good start. I personally banned asking any more questions on this "wana-biashara customizers/tweekers <developers?> " list. Harsh? Web Syndication is as much of web programming as creating logon boxes and writing verification codes.

 

Rgds.
