Creating RSS Feeds in Drupal Using Views
This tutorial will show you how to create a custom RSS feed in Drupal. To do this you’ll need to have the Views module uploaded and installed.
Add a New View
Click Administer > Site building > Views > Add
Enter a name for your new RSS feed, choose “Node” and then click “Next”
Create an RSS Feed View
On the left-hand side, choose “Feed” from the dropdown and click “Add display”.
Choose the Types of Node Shown in Your RSS Feed
On the right-hand side, click the + icon next to “Filters”. Choose “Node” from the dropdown menu and then check the box called “Node: Type”. Click “Add”.
Choose the node types that you want to include in your RSS feed and then click “Update default display”.
Choose the Parts of the Node Shown in Your RSS Feed
On the middle of the Views screen, click the + icon next to “Fields”. Choose “Node” from the dropdown menu and then check the box called “Node: Title”. Click “Add”.
You can change some of the setting for the RSS feed display here, but the first time you do this its best to click “Update” and move on.
Set the Path of Your RSS Feed
At the bottom left of the Views screen, click the “None” text next to “Path”. Enter a path (URL) for your RSS feed and click “Update”.
Set the Style of Your RSS Feed
At the top left of the Views screen, click “Missing style plugins” next to “Row style”. Click “Update”.
View Your Completed RSS Feed
Click “View “Feed”” in the top-right corner of the Views screen.
Your RSS feed should be ready!

Thanks for the info.
When following the procedure and arriving at “Choose the Parts of the Node Shown in Your RSS Feed” I was not able to select the + in the the feed view: The style selected does not utilize fields. This also shows in the picture at ‘Choose the Types of Node Shown in Your RSS Feed’
I was able after selecting the Default view (I was at the Feed view) and changing to this it worked

Hi,
I created a feed view just as described above. But the problem is, when I try to access its feed url, instead of showing the xml feed in browser, it says to download an xml file.
Why is this so? How can I fix it?
nice post!
Thank you !
