As a reader, I want to subscribe to a customized RSS feed for the journal.

this covers making adjustments/customizations to the built-in RSS feed.

I was reviewing our RSS feed the other day, because RSS is cool! It looks like @rlskoeser already customized Hugo's built-in RSS template with a function that lists each article's authors in the XML author field.

Beyond that, two things to consider:

• Do we want to send the articles' ledes / summaries out via RSS, or the full-text of the articles? Currently, an RSS subscriber gets the lede / summary. If we want to change that so they receive the full text, then <description>{{ .Summary | html }}</description> should be replaced with <description>{{- .Content | html -}}</description>.
• Do we want to highlight the ability to subscribe via RSS somewhere on the About page? We could include nearby a link to this Help! What is a feed? page — I've found it useful and inviting when I've seen it on other sites.
