   I'm probably making this harder on myself than it has to be. If there is a built in WP function or plugin that can generate a custom feed please let me know.

   I'm trying to create a feed for a wp powered job board to send to Indeed.com. It should send them all the currently active jobs I have on my site.

   Here is what I have so far...

   $args = array(
   	'post_type' => 'job_listing',
   	'post_status' => 'publish',
   	'showposts' => -1
   );
   
   $feed = query_posts($args);
   
   echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>';
   ?>
   <source>
       <publisher>example.com</publisher>
       <publisherurl>http://www.example.com</publisherurl>
       <lastBuildDate><?php date(); ?></lastBuildDate>
   
       <?php while($feed->have_posts()) : $feed->the_post(); ?>
       <job>
           <title><![CDATA[<?php $feed->the_title(); ?>]]></title>
           <date><![CDATA[<?php $feed->post_date(); ?>]]></date>
           <referencenumber><![CDATA[<?php $feed->ID; ?>]]></referencenumber>
           <url><![CDATA[<?php the_permalink(); ?>]]></url>
           <company><![CDATA[<?php get_post_meta($feed->ID,'_Company'); ?>]]></company>
           <city><![CDATA[<?php get_post_meta($feed->ID,'geo_short_address'); ?>]]></city>
           <description><![CDATA[<?php $feed->the_content(); ?>]]></description>
       </job>
       <?php endwhile; ?>
   </source>

   I've plugged this into a page template and assigned it to a blank page, similar to a method outline on the Yoast website.

   Though all I'm getting is a blank page.
