Any working RSS feed examples out there?
Here's the boilerplate I've been using for RSS feed templates. I just name the file rss.html and call it a day. 

This assumes a channel is set up with a description and title field. 

{% header "Content-Type: application/rss+xml" %}
&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?&gt;
&lt;rss version="2.0" xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"&gt;

{% set rss = craft.entries({ section: 'yourChannel' }) %}

&lt;channel&gt;
  &lt;title&gt;Title Your RSS Feed&lt;/title&gt;
  &lt;link&gt;http://www.yourlink.com/&lt;/link&gt;
  &lt;description&gt;Enter a description here&lt;/description&gt;
  &lt;language&gt;en-us&lt;/language&gt;
  &lt;atom:link href="{{ url() }}" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" /&gt;

  {% for item in rss %}
  &lt;item&gt;
    &lt;title&gt;{{ item.title }}&lt;/title&gt;
    &lt;link&gt;{{ item.url() }}&lt;/link&gt;
    &lt;description&gt;{{ item.description }}&lt;/description&gt;
    &lt;pubDate&gt;{{ item.postDate.rfc2822() }}&lt;/pubDate&gt;
    &lt;guid&gt;{{ item.url() }}&lt;/guid&gt;
  &lt;/item&gt;
  {% endfor %}
&lt;/channel&gt;

&lt;/rss&gt;
