# Feed themes?

 * Is there a way to have the feed be a little different for a theme? Like, I have
   a favicon.ico in one of my themes, and I use that for the site by having the 
   line `<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="<?php bloginfo('template_directory');?
   >/favicon.ico" />` in my theme. I want to do the same thing for my rss feed, 
   but I don’t want to just edit the global wp-rss2.php file, in case I ever want
   to switch to another theme or something. Can I put wp-rss2.php in a theme?

 * If you are saying that you want to style the output of your RSS Feed, so that
   it looks nicer, I’m right there with you.

 * In wp-rss2.php there is php code defining the header of the output for the feed:
 * `header('Content-type: text/xml; charset=' . get_settings('blog_charset'), true);
   
   $more = 1;
 * ?>
 * personally i couldn’t determine how to add anything into that string.
 * However, i did notice that adding the `xml?`tags enclosed in `php echo` tags 
   might actually work.
 * `<?php echo '<?xml-stylesheet type=&quot;text/css&quot; href=&quot;http://you.
   com/rss.css&quot; ?>'; ?>`

 * No, that’s not really what I want.
    I want to have wp-rss2.php included as part
   of a theme. So the small changes I make to it will be enabled when that theme
   is enabled, and disabled when the theme is disabled.
