  11            <p>The Syndicate Component controls the settings related to the Syndication
  12                 of your site's contents via RSS and related protocols (e.g., Atom).
  13                 To display the syndication links to your site visitors you must
  14                 publush the Syndicate Module.</p>           <strong>Details</strong>
  15            <ul>
  16                 <li><strong>Cache:</strong> Choose the &#39;Yes&#39; radio button to create and display a new Newsfeed dependant on the value set in the Cache Time field. Choose the &#39;No&#39; radio
  17                           button to display a new Newsfeed each time an item is
  18                           added to the FrontPage Component and each time the Newsfeed
  19                           is accessed by another server. <strong>Warning</strong>: Setting Cache
  20                           to &#39;No&#39; will cause your Newsfeed to be checked
  21                           every time someone visits any site where your Newsfeed
  22                           is syndicated. This can potentially cause excessive
  23                           bandwidth usage as well as extreme draw on your server
  24                      resources. </li>
  25                 <li><strong>Cache Time</strong>: This is the number of seconds
  26                      before your site&#39;s database is checked for updates. The
  27                      default in Mambo is 3600 seconds, or 60 minutes. After this
  28                      time has elapsed, the Newsfeed will refresh itself from your
  29                      database thus displaying any new items you have published
  30                      through the FrontPage Component to your Newsfeed. </li>

  36                      your Newsfeed. The title will appear as a link to your site.</li>
  37                 <li><strong>Description:</strong> Enter a brief
  38                      statement to describe your Newsfeed. If none is entered,
