[Bf-webcontent] RSS

[Bart Veldhuizen]

Hi,

we've added the publication script; the RSS feed is now published  
every 15 minutes. I've also added the RSS link to the template and  
republished the homepage and the news section. It will appear on  
other pages as well as soon as someone publishes them.

Enjoy! :)

Bart
