• Scott: Oops! Ok. I won't host it. But it's still a great excercise! :)
  

• Absolutely. For internal/personal use I think it is a great idea. Companies that want to make use of RSS, but don't have the time to create the feeds can probably make a lot of use out of it.
  
  
  
  yole used to have a feature in Syndirella which did this for you.
  

• Roy- don't be down. This is a great idea and good effort, glad to see the work you did here.
  

• Roy.. good stuff.. you the man..
  

• Great article. I need something like this on the backend of PDCBloggers.net to track blogs that do not have RSS feeds.
  

• Tip: use ToArray instead of GetBuffer, ToArray works when the MemoryStream is closed.
  

• Thanks for the tip TheCshark!
  

• I tried your sitefeeder site and it is really nice :)
  
  I had a small addition when I clicked on a feed and then tried to look at the help menu, it did not showed up in full only the first item is visible. If I am not watching the one of the feeds the Help menu works ok.
