Hi there,

I’m still a novice with RoR, and I was wondering what the best technique  
is for taking an RSS feed and entering it into a database. I want to  
take a word of the day RSS feed and add the word (and a few other  
attributes) to a database table once a day.

Are there any good resources out there? Or anything I should keep in  
mind as I try to do this?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Dave
