How can I install a rss feeder on my website?

You can create an .xml file in notepad or any editor you use for script like Dreamweaver CS3.

Here is an example:

<rss version="2.0">
<channel>

<title>The title of my RSS 2.0 Feed</title>
<link>http://www.example.com/</link>
<description>This is my rss 2 feed description</description>

<item>
<title>The title of my RSS 2.0 Feed</title>
<link>http://www.example.com/</link>
<description>This is my rss 2 feed description</description>

(You can keep repeating this)

</channel>
</rss>

Then you can upload this file to the FTP. You can validate your feed using this link: http://feedvalidator.org/

Good luck!

Thanks Jeremy, just a couple more questions. Why would I want to repeat the sequence?How can I upload it on my blog? How do I load it on my blue voda webside? I am sorry for all the questions. I am not a tech person and I need step by step instructions.

That's fine, you would repeat those steps in the code but change the links and title etc.

What I gave you was a way to make your site RSS active. Your icon will light up on your browser saying there is an RSS feed where people can click or you can link them to it.

You can always search google for ways on how to do it.
