I'd love to have an RSS feed for the contents page of the online magazine I edit:
http://www.thewitness.org/contents.php
Does FeedForAll Mac have an easy way to do this and keep it up-to-date, or would I have to enter every new item and delete every old item manually in FeedForAll after I update the website?
Many thanks!

One way you can do this is to create a feed for the contents of that page with FeedForAll Mac. Then use our free PHP script, rss2html.php, to convert it to HTML for display on your website.

Thanks, Jim. Unfortunately, I don't think that will work for the magazine. We've already got a (proprietary) content management system that updates the Contents page when a new article is submitted; paying the developer to change this would cost far more money than being able to use FeedForAll would be worth. Any other ideas?

The only other options would be to enter the data into you CMS and into FeedForAll or have your CMS create the feed directly. FeedForAll does not have any page scraping capabilities.
