Browles, I got this answer on Yahoo Answers after doing a Google Search on "how do I set up an RSS feed on my site"

Hope this helps. It helps me. Thanks for asking the question. I can't be sure of its accuracy but I'm going to try it.

An RSS feed is just a xml file but more to a set specification. You can basically look at anyone else's RSS feed and figure out what to do. All you have to do is create the file and link to it on your page. That's it, that's the list.

"I see this question has been starred, so I'll provide an example of a template:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<rss version="2.0">

All you have to do is write your markup (and it HAS to be well-formed XML) in your text editor then save it with the .xml extension.

A better explanation on what I just said can be found here:

There is also a template on that site."
