It’s pretty easy to create a uuid. There are many ways to do it. Which is best for you would depend on how you’re generating your website.

Per the RSS specification the
guidfield is optional.And if you do want to provide it, any string works. So just count up from 1, use the title, current date or whatever for that field.

Thanks for pointing this out. I thought this had to be an actual UUID. Generating a unique string of arbitrary format manually is certainly much easier to do manually without additional tools.
