I am new to Wordress and would like to create an RSS feed of my posts.

Can someone explain how this is done, what you do with the feed, where to submit etc?

Thanks

    That's done automatically by wordpress, as long as you have the settings/Privacy set to notify search engines.

    You can enter your own list of pinging sites if you want under settings/Writing it just calls pingomatic by default.

    Found it on another posting from someone

    I believe it's www.yoursite/feed and then submit to FeedAgg.com | The Best Blogs and RSS Feeds on the Web | RSS Directory

    WordPress actually has some very cool RSS functionality since 3.0 but not all themes support it as yet.

    The "Automatic Feed Links" function will give readers access to different feeds depending on where they are in your site. For example, on a category page they can subscribe to that category only, or on an individual post they can subscribe to that comment conversation.

    If you want to enable it add this little snippet to the functions.php file in your theme (if it's not already there):

    PHP Code:
    if(function_exists('add_theme_support')) {
            add_theme_support('automatic-feed-links');
    } 
    And then check your header.php file for any direct inclusion of RSS, as it won't be needed anymore. So if you see something like:

    HTML Code:
    <link rel="alternate" type="text/xml" title="RSS .92" href="<?php bloginfo('rss_url'); ?>" />
    Delete it.

    Then you'll be all set to get the most possible value out of your WordPress RSS feeds.
