Is there a way to custom edit the /rss.xml feed?

Q:  [Woody - Dec 31, 2007] Thanks for the previous help, Matt! Now my RSS feed (/rss.xml) contains a long list of the changes I made, which will confuse the users. Is there a way to custom edit the /rss.xml feed? Thanks!

[Matt] The rss.xml page is generated automatically and can't be changed - its purpose is to show what has changed on the site. If you know JavaScript and read through the pages at http://help.editme.com/LayoutDevelopment, you could use the JavaScript API to create a custom RSS feed. Or you could simply create a raw page with a text/xml MIME type and hand-code an RSS feed that way. I plan to build some tools soon that will allow people to do this more easily.
