HTML Pages to RSS

RSS Scraper is a nifty little tool that lets you notify people of updates to your HTML pages with RSS.
If you have an item in your page you'd like to include in the RSS feed e.g:
New product this week!
Just released! This book will increase your business profits by 1000%

You simply need to put <span class="rss:item"> ... </span> around the item. So your HTML will look something like this:
<span class="rss:item"><b><a href="http://www.bizdome.com/">New product this week!<br>Just released! This book will increase your business profits by 1000%</span>

Sounds pretty handy if you don't have a database driven page ... but I do see one problem in the code above ... it's missing a </a></b> before the <br> ... just FYI if you plan on using this.
