First, the following are the possible inclusions in the "Item" tag. \be careful as the syntax is NOT the same for some, specifically for enclosure & source.

1. <TITLE></TITLE>

2. <LINK></LINK>

3. <DESCRIPTION></DESCRIPTION>

4. <AUTHOR></AUTHOR>

5. <CATEGORY></CATEGORY>

6. <COMMENTS></COMMENTS>

7. <ENCLOSURE "INFORMATION OF ENCLOSURE GOES HERE" />

8. <GUID></GUID>

9. <PUBDATE></PUBDATE>

10. <source url="http://www.yaddayadda/yadda.rss">Babble</SOURCE>

Some of the above are simple, others can get complicated. Remember you do NOT need to place all of these in your feed. You can get away with the title, link & description (and you should put the pubdate in as well).
HOWEVER, these are important commands and some like enclosure can open up worlds of possibilities for you.

Here is the title of this item within the Channel. Remember this is the "Chapter Heading". So here we would want to put, "Heaven Scent Perfume At 50% Discount." So this is how our title will read:

<title>Heaven Scent Perfume At 50% Discount</title>

Next comes the all important link. Where to find the data. So here Randy has a whole web page devoted to selling Heaven Scent perfume.

<link>http://www.randypandy.com/perfumes/heavenscent.html</link>

All we want here is to define the perfume. Lets do that for the time being.with

Author is really simple stuff,

The category term is not limited to one. You can place as many categories as you like. . If you want to put both "Perfume", "On-Line Shopping", "Skunk Perfume" and put a URL in there with an "href", category may look like this:

<category>On-Line Shopping</category>
<category>Skunk Perfume</category>
<category domain="http://www.perfumesoftheworld.com/greatsmells">Skunks</category>

The comments tag is a URL that points to a page which is actually comments about "Heaven Scent Perfume".

<comments>http://www.randypandy.com/perfumes/comments/skunkyheavenscent.html</comments>

Enclosure is the MAGIC of RSS. It is what allows you to Podcast and VideoCast with RSS. In enclosure I can put an image, a video, a voice recording, etc. So let us say I want to release "Summertime" by Janis Joplin in my RSS. Here is where the information on the file.would be put

<enclosure url="http://www.randypandy.com/mp3s/janis/summertime.mp3" length="5588242" type="audio/mpeg"/>

A GUID means "Globally Unique Identifier". By giving your item a "barcode" you can allow the aggregator to determine if it has to be updated or not. You can tell it if the link is permanent or not called a "PermaLink" (which is familiar to Bloggers).

<guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.randypandy.com/perfumes/heavenscent.html</guid>

The source command requires a URL and is used to give credit to the source of the article. This is used mostly when publishing to a Blog from somewhere else so the URL of the source is saved. So when we publish to RandyPandy.com all this information on his perfume it would read:

<source url="http://www.yaddayadda/hs.xml">Secret Source of Heaven Scent Publicity</source>

The only serious commands here are description and enclosure. Lets see what are rss.xml file which will make our RSS feed looks like until now.
Due to the demands of the editing software used some of the commands appear as if on two lines. This is fine. When you create your template in the end just remember that everything between the first < and the last > is one command!)
