2. making tags is freaking wicked but how can I use them in my HTML pages?
3. How do you make RSS feeds.
4. and lastly who here uses feedreader software for reading the RSS news from other websites

1. Whats the point in using XML when you can use MySQL?

You're comparing apples and oranges. XML is used to create other markup languages so you can produce documents that are well structured. Once you have a nice structure, then it's easier to implement. XML can communicate with databases.


2. making tags is freaking wicked but how can I use them in my HTML pages?
Create a style sheet. You'll get nothing but a bunch of tags without telling the browser how to display it.


3. How do you make RSS feeds.

You create the following tags;

<item>
<title>Name</title>
<description>Description</description>
<link>link</link>
</item>



4. and lastly who here uses feedreader software for reading the RSS news from other websites
I used to.

Nice reply king coder :)

I was wondering if you had any examples or links to websites that implement xml in their design.

Also to answer mcrob's question about feedreaders, I used the Sage extension for firefox which I find pretty usedful.
