Theming Drupal RSS feeds

After finishing my content type alterations I thought all was well, until I took a look at my rss feed. The extra fields I had added were designed to be used by my custom node tpl for display and not in RSS.

So I began searching for how to theme or control my RSS output.

It ended up being right under my nose and no editing was needed at all.

In admin » content » types » mycontenttype » display  » rss

Just added exclude to all the fields not meant for RSS and no altering of any theming files or code were needed
