Project Detail

Description

READ THIS PROJECT FULLY BEFORE SUBMITTING A BID. Providers who do not read and fully understand the project will not be considered.

If you bid and send me a private message - give me details as to your solution - do not be generic in your answers, I want real details.

Now for the project itself:

I am looking to accomplish a couple of things.

1. I want to have a dynamic RSS feed area that will update on the fly - Google's API cannot do that since they only cache once per hour. I need my RSS to fetch every 5 minutes.

2. I want a password protected area that will easily let people add to the RSS feed.

I imagine a login area that will lead to a couple of text boxes where the user will input the "Title" and "Description" of the RSS feed item.

Here is the sample xml page I am using effectively:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<rss version="2.0">
<channel>

You can see this feed at www.djmaine.com/windhamweb.xml

As you will notice, this is extremely barebones and exactly the way I want it to be. It works correctly as it feeds my Scala InfoChannel Bulletin Board.

Now I need it to send this info as an RSS feed to my website www.windhamweb.com without restrictions - meaning no limit to the number of items I can place on the feed, and that it would refresh my feed every 5 minutes.

My budget for this project is between $75 - 200 dependant upon experience.

The winning bidder will also commit to working with me to get this done within 48 hours of being chosen or I will cancel the project and pick another provider.
