It should also be named index.html or index.htm for it to show when someone types in only the url without the page name. If you view the source of your page. this line of code <.....link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS" href="<view-source:http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~tomerbusby/GenealogyPages/view-source:file:///Users/janice/Sites/GenealogyPages/Busby_Historical_Pages_files/rss.xml>file://localhost/Users/janice/Sites/GenealogyPages/Busby_Historical_Pages_files/rss.xml" /> it points to a file on your computer not on the Rootsweb server.
