feed.AddPerson("author","Tortuga Group LLC","","news-feedback@worldwideweb-x.com");

feed.AddElement("copyright","Copyright 2005 Tortuga Group LLC");

feed.AddElementDate("modified",DateTime.Now);



// Build an entry.

Tortuga.Atom entry = new Tortuga.Atom();

entry.AddElement("title","Tortuga Atom API Released");

entry.AddLink("alternate","http://www.myCoolAtomFeed.com/news/story1.html","","text/html");

entry.AddElement("id","763489562980");
