How can I set up an RSS feed for all users on my website so that they are informed about new content added.

Thanks

views.module can create feeds

Thanks. I guess its more

Thanks. I guess its more complicated than simply enabling a function.... or is it?

There's a default feed provided at example.com/rss.xml -- for anything else yes, you need the views module.

This looks like that I have to subscripe to the feed.

Maybe I'm thinking of an email blast rather than an RSS feed. Am I wrong? I simply want a message to go out to all my users that new info has been added to the website.

Yep, feeds are passive-- they need to be subscribed to as with any other site. If you want to email your users there's several ways to do it-- core triggers and actions, rules, and simplenews spring to mind.
