    </xsl:if>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Part 2: Create a RSS Template

a) In Umbraco go to Settings --> Templates --> Right Click --> Create --> And give yor Template a name, such as RSS or FEED.  Note the name you give the Page will be the name of your Feed page.

So for example:

www.mywebsite/news/rss.aspx
or
www.mywebsite/somepage/feed.aspx .

b) Insert your RSS Macro in to the Template.Make sure there is no white spaces.  Example:

<%@ Master Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/umbraco/masterpages/default.master" AutoEventWireup="true" %>
<asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolderDefault" runat="server"><umbraco:Macro Alias="RssFeed" runat="server"></umbraco:Macro>
</asp:Content>

Part 3: View your RSS feed.


Go to any page on your website.

For example:
www.mywebsite/somepage/someotherpage.aspx

Change the extension to:
www.mywebsite/somepage/someotherpage/rss.aspx
