suggestions for RSS Feed url?

I have been getting into RSS quite a bit lately and I would like to try my
hand at writting one. What is the best suggestions for the URL? Should it
be an aspx returning XML? Should it be an HttpModule (or handler? what's
the other way?) or some other mechanism?
If you've written one, I would love to hear about your experiences. If you
have any website urls I would love to see them too. I've tried googling,
but I seem to get drowned in plain-jane, end user rss feed stuff, not too
much developer oriented or url info. Maybe it's my keywords?

Isn't it usually just an xml file? I might be wrong, I dont know - but I
like you would like to get into writing one...

I did find this which looks like a good start, and helpfully there's both C#
and VB examples for the .net part...

Another option for the url is the rss prefix. I was hunting in RSSBandit's
feed xml and found this one for CBC.

Very ! I'll read up on that during lunch! :> Thanks for the quick
feedback. Hopefully we'll both get some more urls from other's.
Thanks again.

I didn't get a chance to play with this last night. :< I hope to try it out
tonight and get back to you with a sample URL. If you try it out, COOL! If
not, hey, at least you led me in the right direction to learn something new!
:>
Have a good one.
