Hi,
Our campus portal supports display of RSS feeds but thus far
we have not
used this feature much -- only for some externally produced
feeds. I've
recently been asked to investigate methods for creating and
publishing
local RSS feeds that are very user-friendly. Our intent is
to set up
tools and a procedure that non-technical staff in the
libraries and
other divisions around campus could use to publish fresh
content. The
libraries are now using blogger to publish a few RSS feeds
but we're
archiving everything and it doesn't seem like the right
approach for
general use on campus. Our web pages are a work in progress
-- no
content management system in place that might simplify
content creation.
Any suggestions or advice is greatly appreciated.

When I worked at the Seminary they used RSS Feed Creator:
http://ww
w.jitbit.com/rss-feed-creator.aspx it's not free, but it
does
allow for what you want. You can see some examples here:
http://libweb.p
tsem.edu/rssfeeds.aspx
Other ones that I haven't used are:
http://www.e
xtralabs.net/feed-editor.htm
http://www.rapidfeeds.com/
http://www.feedforall.com/
Hope one of these helps you out.
I also recommend looking into Yahoo! Pipes to merge your
feeds
together - it's pretty nifty - http://pipes.yahoo.com -
here's what
I've written about it:
