Haven't done it myself but it should be relatively easy to write a script that will output XML code by pulling the same fields from your database as you display on your blog.

I found these on the net:
RSS Feed generator (http://www.2rss.com/software.php)
Build an RSS Generator Component (http://www.fawcette.com/vsm/2004_04/magazine/columns/gettingstarted/) - this assumes that you have .NET but I am sure it can be adapted to plain ol' ASP.
RSS custom server control (http://weblogs.asp.net/jasonsalas/articles/44580.aspx) - using ASP.NET and a SQL Server backend
RSS Generator (http://rss.blogstreet.com/)

HTH!

today in Builder.com (http://ct.com.com/click?q=96-pjrWQtdeMRq0y1RQBf8mGjyT01Ed ) This looked like it might help FD. If you get it worked out I wouldn't mind a tip or two I have yet to do that on mine as well.

If you need more help let me know. I'd be more than happy to help you with the ASP or .NET solution. Didn't check out those articles yet but it cannot be very hard at all once you know the RSS format.

I am diggin into RSS...what format is to be preferred in your opinion for a weblog/news website? 0.91, 1.0, 2.0?
I would like to see the content syndicated on other related website, and indexed by Google news

Finally we have our RSS feed, home-made in asp :) :
http://www.sumhit-referencement.com/logs/rss.xml

Now I am wondering if there are javascripts that webmasters could copy and past in their own pages so that it is easy for them to include the feed when the don't know XML well?
