hey I am new to drupal and I have a few questions to ask about rss feeds in drupal:
1.where is the feed for your drupal website? or is it gennerated automacticlly?
2.everytime i try to get the feed in the safari address bar and press the rss button and it comes back with no feed? what do i need to do and does this affect any other browsers
3.I want to use an external app to edit my rss feeds and I want to use an app called feeder can I do this?

Feeds
1. Automatically at /rss.xml, which is an alias for /node/feed. There are many other contexts in Drupal (such as taxonomy views) that will generate associated RSS output as well, and the appropriate LINK tags should show up in the html HEAD automatically.
2. Make sure you have some content to feed.
3. Why would you want to do manually what Drupal does automatically?
ping itunes etc.
thats why i want to do it
audio.module and ping.module
Drupal's native RSS feeds will use enclosure tags for any file attachments, so podcasting is simply supported; just blog your podcasts and attach them as files. The contributed audio.module includes a facility to add iTunes-specific tags as well as many other enhancements, including an embedded Flash player, etc.
If activated, the ping.module notifies pingomatic.com. I don't think pingomatic.com includes itunes in its service, but it would be trivial to write a module that would notify iTunes using the hook_ping() system call.
well
Ok then But I really need itunes and is there a service that pings itunes or any of the podcasting diecionarys and I will proabley use podtrac and other such services. modules or site?
