# RSS Theme?

 * Okay, I have seen in some RSS feeds that the Thunderbird RSS reader I use that
   the template and theme comes through in the post. In mine it’s not. I’m using
   a modified version of the 1.2.2 theme in my posts, although I have upgraded to
   1.5.
 * So what I would like to do is to insert the theme into that feed, but I don’t
   see how to do so. And the WIKI really isn’t much help.
 * Any suggestions.

 * You can use [XSLT](http://stud.usv.ro/~rchiriliuc/rss_style_sheet.php) or [CSS](http://www.petefreitag.com/item/208.cfm)
   to style RSS feeds.

 * I’ve been looking at doing this as well. Podcasting leaves me displaying my RSS
   feeds a lot.
 * So my question is:
    `<?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; ?> <?xml-stylesheet type=&
   quot;text/css&quot; href=&quot;http://you.com/rss.css&quot; ?>
 * how do you add this to your feed in WP?

 * Put it in your wp-rss2.php file.

 * Actually…
 * Only errors return when adding this to the wp-rss2.php

 * Nothing but unexpected T-STRING errors…
 * somehow this has to be written into the output, or the functions.
 * anyone have a more straightforward solution to adding a link to a style sheet
   for the RSS or ATOM output of WP?

 * possible answer:
 * Add it as a php echo tag in the file’s header.
 * `<?php echo '<?xml-stylesheet type=&quot;text/css&quot; href=&quot;http://you.
   com/rss.css&quot; ?>'; ?>`

 * I got this working and wrote it up [here](http://fernando.dubtribe.com/archives/2005/05/14/rss-style-for-your-wp-feed/)
 * Thanks everyone for your help!
