How do I create an XML feed?

On http://www.cleafs.com/tracker/productsfeed.xsd and http://www.xmlme.com/Validator.aspx you can test your XML feed and check if it is OK according to the terms and conditions of Cleafs

Example XML productfeed:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<productFeed>
<product id="54171">
<name>Rock am Ring</name>
<price>269.00</price>
<description>Nurburgring, Nurburg, Germany</description>
<productURL>
http://www.worldticketshop.com/festivals/rock_am_ring_festival_tickets/54171_rock_am_ring_nurburg?utm_source=Cleafs%2BRock am Ring&utm_medium=affiliate-network&utm_campaign=Productfeed
</productURL>
<imageURL>
http://www.worldticketshop.com/images/concerts/festivals/rock_am_ring_festival.jpg
</imageURL>
<additional>
<date>04-06-2010</date>
<time>15.00</time>
<venue>Nurburgring</venue>
<city>Nurburg</city>
<country>Germany</country>
<category>Concerts</category>
<group>Festivals</group>
<shipping>14.95</shipping>
</additional>
</product>

<product id="54174">
<name>Rock im Park Festival</name>
<price>249.00</price>
<description>Zeppelinfeld, Nurnberg, Germany</description>
<productURL>
http://www.worldticketshop.com/festivals/rock_im_park_festival_tickets/54174_rock_im_park_festival_nurnberg?utm_source=Cleafs%2BRock im Park Festival&utm_medium=affiliate-network&utm_campaign=Productfeed
</productURL>
<imageURL>
http://www.worldticketshop.com/images/concerts/festivals/rock_im_park_festival.jpg
</imageURL>
<additional>
<date>04-06-2010</date>
<time>15.00</time>
<venue>Zeppelinfeld</venue>
<city>Nurnberg</city>
<country>Germany</country>
<category>Concerts</category>
<group>Festivals</group>
<shipping>14.95</shipping>
</additional>
</product>
</productFeed>

required tags are: /productFeed, product, name, price /and /productURL/

For every product you will need to create a unique ID

The /price/ tag needs to be created in cents, without points and commas
