Is my RSS page correct?

DavidO · 08-13-2009, 03:27 AM

I've added RSS to my site using a tool I picked up from another forum. When a visitor clicks the RSS icon on my page they get a new page looking very much like a sitemap with the format www.mydomain.com/rss.xml

But I thought RSS feeds are supposed to have an rss file extension, not xml.

Have I overlooked something and simply created a sitemap?

Here's a page to check if you need to:

Articles on natural stress and blood pressure control

The RSS button is at the bottom of the page.

Thanks for any clarification on this!

Oh no, rss feeds are in .xml format so you got it right. It works too so looks like you are set :-)
