One thing I'd like to figure out how to do is create some kind of forums page where people can see what is going on in several different forums websites.

Then, if everyone would start creating RSS feeds for their forums, I might be able to create a page on my site that gathered all those feeds. I think that would be a great way to help people network and to draw more traffic to the many forums sites of the same general description currently on the net.

To start with, I'd need to know just how to create an RSS feed for, say my 5 or 10 latest posts and then go from there with how to create the page to gather those feeds.

Any ideas or suggestions? Personally, I'm a whole bunch 'computer challenged' when it comes to the subject of programming, and especially when it concerns php so, I'm totally clueless about how to go about even starting a project like this.

Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

This is what I use to query the "latest" posts / threads : "$vboptions[bburl]/external.php?type=RSS2

Make sure that RSS is enabled in the ACP | Options | External Data provider section.
