Say hello to www.syndic8.com :D (had the same problem trying to get a list of feeds for my own non-commercial site)

our site is going to be totally PHP geared: eg: PHP Articles Program snippets (forum (maybe)) etc Any idea how I can get a feed from Slashdot? or any other good programming\tech sites

Some sites that provide RSS feeds also include this tag in their HTML : <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS" href="http://www.domain.com/path/to/feed.xml" /> You could search for that. If you have a windows computer around, I would recommend downloading a copy of FeedDemon [ http://www.bradsoft.com/feeddemon/index.asp ] (yes, that's the same guy that created TopStyle) -- it comes with a lot of Web Development related feeds (you can then use the URLs in your own reader).

am basically trying to get a feed from around 4 sites for around 5 links each...
