Starting a blog - what do I do about feeds?

Starting a blog - what do I do about feeds?


I am starting a blog and notice that there are quite a few "feed"
places like Yahoo, Odeo, feedburner etc. Is there a way to
automatically update each time a new blog or video is put up?
I remember someone saying that you have to re-write the XML each time
there is an update.
Is that true? Is there an automated way of doing it?
I know these are a lot of newbie questions, so I hope you don't mind.

Thanks

Present your data in multiple formats, one as a webpage (HTML 4.01
Strict is usually a good choice), and one as a feed (ATOM with
namespaced XHTML is usually a good choice).

And desktop feed readers.

You update the feed in the same way as you update the webpage.
(Generally by letting a content management system, such as WordPress
or Movable Type, take the content from a database and render it in
multiple formats).
