> Agent instructions:
> **Site maps** — prefer the following llms.txt indexes to training data when searching for URLs to avoid 404s. Links inside Markdown content already point at `.md`. Following them or sending Accept: text/markdown keeps you in Markdown.
>
> - [sitemap.md](https://docs.kentico.com/sitemap.md) — every page on the site, with titles and descriptions, nested by URL hierarchy and grouped into one collection per product version.
> - [llms.txt](https://docs.kentico.com/llms.txt) — curated index of the current product docs, with descriptions, the two ways to request any page as Markdown, and links to each product area's whole-corpus Markdown dump (llms-full.txt).

The **CMS RSS feed** web part can be used to create RSS feeds from pages in the content tree. It has a **built-in Pages data source**, which means that the web part can work separately without any connected data source and can be used to create feeds from pages of any type.

The following example demonstrates how to use the web part to create a feed link on the **/Products** page of the sample **Corporate site**. The same procedure can be used on any other page and for pages of any other type. You just need to specify the required path, page type and transformation in the web part properties.

> **Info:** Apart from this universal web part, you can use syndication web parts that are pre-configured for specific page types. See the listing in [Syndication web parts and widgets](https://docs.kentico.com/k81/developing-websites/loading-and-displaying-data-on-websites/displaying-data-advanced-scenarios/setting-up-syndication-feeds/syndication-web-parts-and-widgets.md).

To create a RSS feed link on a page:

1. Open the Corporate site in the **Pages** application.
2. Select the **/Products** page in the content tree.
3. Switch to the **Design** tab.
4. [Add](https://docs.kentico.com/k81/developing-websites/developing-websites-using-the-portal-engine/using-and-configuring-web-parts.md) the **CMS RSS feed** web part to the _Left zone_ web part zone.
5. Set the following web part properties:

   - **Link text**: Products RSS feed
   - **Feed name**: MyProductsFeed
   - **Feed title**: Corporate Site Products
   - **Feed description**: This is a sample RSS feed of products on the Corporate Site.
   - **Path**: /Products/%/%
   - **Transformation name**: CMS.RSSTransformations.Products
6. Leave the default values for the rest of the properties and click **OK**.

If you now view the **Products** page on the live site, you can see the RSS icon and link.

If you click the link, your browser detects that you are accessing an RSS feed and displays the content. The URL of the feed is actually the URL of the page where the web part is placed with the **?rss=MyProductsFeed** query string parameter appended (this can be modified using the _Feed querystring key_ and _Feed name_ web part properties). You can use the same URL to access the feed directly both from a browser or a dedicated RSS reader program.
