As asked how to publish an RSS feed and as pointed out a feed must exist first, the following is a concise, practical implementation checklist, a minimal RSS 2.0 skeleton, the HTML discovery tag to add to pages, and the common pitfalls to avoid.

Implementation checklist

  • Decide generation method: CMS/hosted feed, a static feed.xml produced by the build process, or a small server-side script that emits RSS on publish (PHP/Python/Node).
  • Publish the feed at a stable, public URL (for example /feed.xml) and serve it over HTTPS.
  • Add HTML discovery so readers and aggregators can find the feed (example below).
  • Serve the correct Content-Type header (use application/rss+xml; charset=utf-8).
  • Each <item> should include a title, absolute link, description (or content), a pubDate in RFC‑822 format, and a unique guid.
  • Validate the feed with a validator and test in several feed readers.

Minimal RSS 2.0 skeleton (adjust titles, links, dates)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rss version="2.0">
  <channel>
    <title>Example Site</title>
    <link>https://example.com/</link>
    <description>Short site description</description>
    <item>
      <title>Post title</title>
      <link>https://example.com/post-url</link>
      <description>Short summary or excerpt</description>
      <pubDate>Tue, 09 Dec 2014 12:00:00 +0000</pubDate>
      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://example.com/post-url</guid>
    </item>
  </channel>
</rss>

HTML discovery tag to place inside <head>

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Example Site RSS" href="https://example.com/feed.xml" />

Troubleshooting notes

  • Use absolute URLs in the feed and guid values.
  • Escape or wrap HTML content in <![CDATA[ ... ]]> to avoid invalid XML.
  • Keep timestamps RFC‑822 compliant (many readers are strict).
  • Ensure the feed updates automatically on new posts to avoid stale subscriptions — automation avoids manual maintenance as hinted.

Please...some patience... You've been a member for a few months now, you know that someone that has experience in the question you are asking will come around to help you as soon as possible. Posting that you need help really fast is a sure way to get fewer people willing to help.

Anyways..

How can I add it to my website so that other can subscribe me with the RSS FEED?

Well, you need to create the feed first. This feed is generally made up of a standard XML file. If you have a blog site say on blogger.com or wordpress, the feed is created for you (an XML file) and can be accessed by a specific URL. You just need to publish it. One of the easiest ways to do it is using an RSS Feed Generator. Most of them will take care of all of the details related to subscription options if you just provide the URL to the XML file. For example, take a look at Google's Feedburner. There are a lot of other companies out there that will do it for free or for a fee.

If you only have a website and need to create the XML file on your own, here is an example of how its done using ASP.NET. You could create the XML file manually, but that would require a lot of maintenance.
