That was my next step...but first wanted to see is someone already had or knew of such a thing (why re-invent the wheel if such a thing already exists) and then figure it out on my own if it doesn't (and I can't imagine that it doesn't).

I'm starting to finally feel like a human being again so I'm going to take another stab at this.

I found this, which is really close to what I'm looking for, but don't know how to get it to work (it doesn't create or update the news.rss file I created) http://scriptol.com/rss/ara.php and I don't see any kind of support forums for their stuff...
