Install Astro's RSS package
Astro provides a custom package to quickly add an RSS feed to your website.
This official package generates a non-HTML document with information about all of your blog posts that can be read by feed readers like Feedly, The Old Reader, and more. This document is updated every time your site is rebuilt.
Individuals can subscribe to your feed in a feed reader, and receive a notification when you publish a new blog post on your site, making it a popular blog feature.
