I Dont have that program and don’t even RSS feeds
In your MOSS site, navigate to the list you want to RSS. To enable/customize the RSS feed for that list, go to Settings then RSS settings (under ‘Communications’). Save changes, then under ‘Actions’ toolbar for that list, click ‘view RSS’.
RSS feeds are great to have your Sharepoint site upto date and current. In the previous version of SharePoint, there was no support for RSS feeds out of the box.SharePoint 2007 RSS feeds are available, and the good news is: it’s enabled by default! When you navigate to a list or document library, you can select the View RSS Feed item from the Actions menu. This will navigate to the RSS feed’s URL, but you’re not going to see the raw XML; it’s transformed into a nice web page using a XSLT. From this page you can click the Subscribe to this feed link which will send the feed to your favorite RSS reader (for example Outlook 2007).
This is what you get if you do not change anything, of course you can also customize the RSS feed for each list. For each list’s RSS feed you can specify the title, description and image url. Additionally it’s possible to choose the columns which should be included and the number of items to show in the feed (optionally limited by the age of the items). The default RSS feed of a list is based on the default view of that list. But each list view also has a RSS feed which can be retrieved from the view’s settings page.One of the nice features of the U2U RSS Feed Generator for SharePoint, is the ability to create a feed that aggregates more than one list. This enables the users of a site to subscribe to one feed which bundles all the important information of a site
