    Hi DP members,

    I am just a newbie and this question might be very basic.

    I have a website and I placed an rss icon in my widget, but I have no idea what link should I use once my visitors will click the rss icon.

    What exactly will happen if they are going to click that rss icon? What happens next? What page should they see or anything related?

    Hoping for your kind consideration with questions like these.

    Please help me guys and thanks in advance!

    What platform is your website hosted on? If it is wordpress then the like us usually yourwebsite.com/feed/

    If this is a self created website then you will be responsible to create the RSS feed.

    rss icon should be linked to a xml file like

    <a href="rss.xml"><img src="rss.ico" /></a>

    You can submit the rss file to feedburner.com so your feed will look like

    http://feeds.feedburner.com/yourfeed

    You can generate your feed (xml file) using the rss feed generator just input a url.
