Hi Ellen,

Two options:

you generate the RSS file from your HTML page on your computer, using an XSLT engine you
downloaded (see http://saxon.sf.net for instance) and you put the resulting RSS online

or you use our online XSLT, by filling out the form at http://www.w3.org/2000/08/w3c-synd/#
with:

XSL file: http://www.w3.org/2000/08/w3c-synd/home2rss.xsl

XML data: <the URI of the  HTML file you want to generate the RSS from>

Base: <the base URI of your site: typically, "http://www.example.org">

Channel: <the URL where you're going to save the RSS that is going to be generated>

Page: <same as "XML data">

That should work.

Cheers,

Max.
