   Hi there,

   I've just found about WordPress (I know, I know) and am really impressed by how powerful and yet user-friendly it looks.

   However, I've got a couple of questions before I use it properly:

   - How do you install 'add-ons'? I've noticed in many screenshots that things like calendars appear in the templates. Does that require a lot of playing around with the code?

   - Is it possible to display banners on your blog?

   - Is it easy to set up an RSS feed for other people to subscribe too? And where do I find that big RSS logo to put on my site? :-)

   Thanks alot for your help in advance ...

   1. For add-ons I'll guess you mean Plugins so review Managing_Plugins.

   2. For banners, start with:

   3. See WordPress_Feeds and Customizing_Feeds will get you going...

   Add-ons are typically called plugins and can be found all over the internet or you can visit here for some popular ones

   Display anything is easy enough if you have a little html & CSS knowledge. Good resource

   Rss feeds are builtin and some themes you find already have nice RSS logos but just search for RSS icon and you can find what you need.
