Re: Smile how to add RSS feed to my site
ok, questions:
1. What are you going to put in the RSS feed? news? updates? articles? 2. Where do they come from? A database? Or do you just type'em up? There are 'feed maker' tools out there, which basically, crawl your site and create the code - then all you have to do is upload the xml file to your server. Those are fine, but rely on human interaction to be updated (ie.: you have to do something). If you want a "real" rss feed, you will need some sort of server-side scripting to make it work. But I won't go there yet, I'll wait and see what you come back with...

Re: Smile how to add RSS feed to my site
Do you mean the actual XML appear in with the HTML? You can't do that.
You can parse it. Which means you could turn all <title> XML tags into <h2> tags or something. Or you can provide a link alternate which would put the RSS feed button in the address bar.
