Hi, I have a `tag = "tags"` taxonomy in my config file. My deployed tag folder looks like that:

- tags
  - foo
    - index.html
    - **index.xml**

  - bar
    - index.html
    - **index.xml**

  - index.html

There is no RSS file for my main taxonomy folder ( **tags/index.xml** is missing).  
Is that a normal behaviour?

How could I easily generate such an RSS file for my taxonomy root path?

PS: Google Index is looking for tags/index.xml and well… gives me a 404 error.

i think it is not a normal behaviour. u can clearn the public dir or change for another theme for the test .

the root index.html shoul have content.

Actually, my `tags/index.html` have content and I’ve already cleaned the deploy folder (I tried turning it off and on again, thanks for the advice 😉 ).

Ok I checked on spf13 blog and he doesn’t have an index.xml file on it’s tags root path: [http://spf13.com/tags/index.xml](http://spf13.com/tags/index.xml)
