How I put my feed.XML on a diet.

Ok so you have your web site published. You set up your pages just they way you want. Well that is what you thought. Turns out that one of your header pages needs to be deleted right? My first page is called WELCOME. First pages on your web site, which you will quickly learn, hold important information on following pages. If you make a mistake on your "welcome" page you might have to reload(using your text editor) the whole page. So whatever you do making MAJOR changes to your site, PLEASE SAVE OFTEN TO A SEPARATE  FOLDER! Unless you are an expert using a text editor, you often have to refer back to your older templates. 

So I was wondering how do I lose one of my web pages? I had deleted the HTML main page file, then I got rid of the support folder. I thought well maybe I will just have to reload my welcome and my page deletion should be reflected in my welcome page, right? WRONG! The one thing no one will tap you on the shoulder or give you a "clue" about is your feed.xml. It took me hours to figure HOW to actually delete your header(welcome) page. After your page is published, the header is put into a aggregator(RSS) so that other web sites can "feed" on your page content.  When you first hear this stuff, it might have your head spinning? Don't worry, I am here to pass on some useful info.   I figured out that if you edit(using your trusty text editor) the undesirable page in your feed.xml file. it will disappear from your header. Pretty cool, eh? So open your text editor, then open your feed xml.file. In this file you want to find the useless header subject. It should start with- and end with or .  You will also see a bunch of urn: numbers exclusively for that file- DELETE! That is it!  You will however HAVE TO reload your "welcome" page to reflect the changes in your header. Makes sense right?  If not, take a deep breath and start from square one.  

 Hope this saves you time!

Peace
