Hello Warriors,

Hope this question is in the right place.

I'm building a site for the first time using Dreamweaver. I want to create an RSS feed for my visitors to subscribe to but have no idea how to do it.

I've done a search but most of the entries are for installing feeds on your site with content from other websites. What I need to know is how to make an RSS feed available to my visitors with my content.

I am not very good at the tech stuff so please go slow in explaining what I need to do.

Thanks in advcance for your help!

Eunice
