No, but why? The rss is not for you it is for your readers.
Well, the ‘blog’ part of my site will mainly be for FEATURED ARTISTS. It’s not really a journal or a news blog.
Maybe I should look into what RSS is all about before I make a decision.
Thanks for the info!

RSS is about allowing your site’s visitors to “subscribe” to your site through any number of newsreaders – ranging from My Yahoo to email program plugins – so that they can read the headlines and a quick summary or the full text (whichever you decide) whenever there is new content. If you want visitors to return to your site when you have new content, RSS is great for that, whether the new content is “news”, a “journal” or “Featured Artists”.
Thanks.
I just need to educate myself on the subject.
This RSS introduction I wrote might help clear things up for you!
Skippy,
Thanks much!
I’ll tell ya’, all the coolest people on the planet must be in these forums. Even when I have a question that stems from momentary stupidity, nobody flames me. They just clear things up in the nicest way.
I love it here!
My problem is, I think it’s necessary, but I just can’t get it work! It shows a page saying something wrong with the xml, and I just don’t know how to fix it…
I get this error message:
http://www.feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnicholaswong.no-ip.info%2F%3Ffeed%3Drss2
Below are my wp-rss2.php (line 1-14)
<?php
if (empty($feed)) {
$blog = 1;
$feed = ‘rss2’;
$doing_rss = 1;
require(‘wp-blog-header.php’);
}
header(‘Content-type: text/xml; charset=’ . get_settings(‘blog_charset’), true);
$more = 1;
?>
<?php echo'<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”‘.get_settings(‘blog_charset’).'”?’.’>’; ?>
<!– generator=”wordpress/<?php bloginfo(‘rss2_url’) ?>” –>
There’s a space at the start of your XML file. This is sometimes caused by a plugin. Shut off all your plugins and see if it works. If it does then start them back up one by one until you get to the offending plugin.
It can also be caused by a corrupt wp-rss2.php file, so uploading a fresh copy of that could help.
Lastly, are the characters the correct “UTF-8” encoding.
