# Creating RSS Feed?

 * I am not sure, but don’t think that my theme for my blog came with an rss feed.
   When I go to my site ../feed it gives me a 404 error. I want an RSS feed because
   some people asked me so they can subscribe to me with their My Yahoo homepage.
   Any help is greatly appreciated.

 * WP automatically creates RSS feeds for you. Your theme hardcodes the URL to be/
   wp/feed when it shouldn’t.:)
 * That will work fine if you enabled Permalinks. But since you haven’t change that
   link in your theme to:
 * [http://www.thelastpageonthenet.com/wp/wp-rss2.php](http://www.thelastpageonthenet.com/wp/wp-rss2.php)
 * And you will be all set, you can also tell your viewers that’s the address to
   subscribe to.
 * Unless you are really against it, you should enable permalinks to get pretty 
   URL’s and have things like <yourdomain.com>/feed work.

 * How do I go about enabling permalinks? SOrry for a stupid sounding question, 
   just haven’t used WP in so long.

 * No, no, it’s bad practice to link directly to that PHP script when WordPress 
   has built in ways of doing it.
 * Use this in your theme:
 * `<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>`
 * That will output the full URL to your RSS2 feed always, no matter what.
 * If you don’t have permalinks on, that URL will be:
 * [http://www.thelastpageonthenet.com/wp/index.php?feed=rss2](http://www.thelastpageonthenet.com/wp/index.php?feed=rss2)
 * As for enabling permalinks, there’s a whole sub-options page in your admin area:
   Options -> Permalinks.

 * Thanks a lot that worked like a charm. My .htaccess file was not CHMOD to 666.
