Thanks Richard. I need a bit more hand holding J The RSS icon to display on a webpage. I'm using the Contonso template, which is functional. I'm at the stage of "which file do I add what to". MVC is real foreign although the more I look at it, there are some classic asp tendencies there.
I like your theme btw. Did you do that yourself?

Hi Steve, I've been meaning to sort out the RSS on my Orchard site too. 1) If you mean the rss icon in the browser bar you can add that using a meta tag in your HTML. The easiest way to add it is probably just in your theme template, but there may be a module for it. <link href="/rss?containerid=162" rel="alternate" title="Richard's Projects (RSS)" type="application/rss+xml" /> 2) I think the container id is the content id of the blog it is displaying content for To make the rss link nicer I've created a URL rewrite on my server: http://www.nogginbox.co.uk/rss -- Richard Garside Web developer and designer Old Broadcasting House, 148 Woodhouse Lane, Leeds, LS2 9EN.

I've been out of the web developers space for a few years. I must say, Orchard is challenging, different and not like anything I've ever worked on. Back in the day I was a spaghetti ASP coder who transitioned to ASP.NET. Orchard is not even close to being similar to either of those. So although I may ask really simple questions, I'd appreciate peoples patience as I get my blog / website transitioned. I'm liking the different and refreshing challenge. PS - the support I get from the community has been top-notch so far. Keep it up! J References .
