The RSS feed tool enables you to make up one or more feeds from which web visitors can subscribe via their standalone feed reader. This can be the form of text based or as a podcast(X2 only).

To start the process select the RSS feed tool and a dialogue box will appear on the screen. The dialogue boxes are different in style between WP10 & X2 but do the same thing but with more information required in X2
