Is it possible to create a podcast RSS feed in Dreamweaver CS5?

My site is built in Dreamweaver CS5 (www.brookfieldcrc.org). I'm trying to submit the "Listen" page as a podcast. The old site was done in iWeb, which automatically created an RSS feed. But iWeb is going away, and produces ugly pages anyway. Is there a good extension (Mac) or some other way to create a podcast RSS feed in DW CS5?

An RSS Feed is simply an XML file which you can code yourself in Dreamweaver.

There is a free RSS extension on this site but I've never used it.

Good luck,

After a couple days of poking around, I found something that works pretty well. It's not a Dreamweaver extention, but is pretty full-featured.

Feeder by Reinvented Software is $40. http://reinventedsoftware.com/feeder/
It keeps you from having to do all the research on what specific tags are required for iTunes podcasts v. standard RSS, etc.

While Nancy O. is correct that you can code it yourself, it's a large project to learn all of the requirements for the different kinds of feeds, and it also doesn't give you the handy submission tools.

It would be great to see this as a standard feature of DW. Maybe it is now...I'm still on CS5.

Nope. Feel free to file an official request.
