 * Can someone brief me on the purpose of what an RSS feed is, and how to add one
   to my main page? I’m so confused by all of this that I’m not sure what to search
   for.
 * Thanks in advance.

 * Example RSS feed: [http://wordpress.org/development/feed/](http://wordpress.org/development/feed/)
 * It’s file formatted in a standardized way. They are used with feed readers, either
   online or as a program.
 * Basically, it allows you to keep up to date with all your favorite sites from
   one place.

 * Thanks!…
 * What’s the best way to get one for wordpress? I used my own template, and it 
   doesn’t automatically show up. How do I link one on my main page?

 * Generally, you can use the `?feed=rss2` at the end of your blog address, but 
   for people with FireFox, or other RSS enabled browsers, I’d recommend you include
   a `<link>` tag for that.
