For those concerned about ANY resource on the internet using the RSS  
feed from your site/blog, then you should do a little homework.
The RSS feed is under the control of the author.

Putting Your Web Content Into A Feed
If you are using blog software it should have feed technology built  
in. If you want feeds on your website content, and you should, then  
you need to figure out the best way to add new content and get it into  
a feed. Some content management systems have RSS built in.

The first action is to decide which content you want in a feed and how  
you want it presented to the end user. There are many ways you can put  
a feed on your website. Some are free, some have a small cost.

Feeds are produced in a language called XML - eXtensible Markup  
Language. XML is not as forgiving as HTML; the formatting is very  
strict and a little more complicated. In order to read a feed, a user  
needs to have a feed reader. Without a reader a feed looks like this  
in XML.

For a static HTML website:
Not only do you need a way to get your content into a feed, you also  
need to add the content to your website. To avoid having to pay a  
webmaster, or rely on your IT department add the content for you, use  
a system like PRESSfeed, which combines content management and feed  
technology. PRESSfeed allows you to add the content to the site  
instantly and distribute it in a feed. This allows you complete  
control over your area of content.
