Any working RSS feed examples out there? Do you only have to build the .rss template file and then you use that URL for your RSS feed? Based on the documentation at hand, that's what it seems like. 

I'm attempting to parse an RSS feed using the Google Feed API (https://developers.google.com/feed/) and it's having issues reading the output - so I just want to see if anyone else out there is using RSS in Craft so I can see their output vs mine. When I view mine, it doesn't look like a traditional xml output.
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;
