[nfbcs] RSS feeds again

Thu Apr 20 01:21:30 UTC 2017

Hi,
So i googled  how  to make an rss feed. I am using the free 000 web
hoste. I made the XML file, but don't know how to get it to work. I
will provide all my files, but i can't initialize it either. Like i
said, i did lots and lots of googling but can't find the answer. I can
link to other rss feeds but can't link to the rss.xml or at least it
is saying that it doesn't exist, when it really does exist. I am going
to give a link to my webcite, and also code for my rss and my index
where i have linked it.
