Hello, I need some help setting up the [feed plugin](https://github.com/bnomei/kirby3-feed).  
As described on the page, I copied the ZIP into the plugin directory. I don’t understand the rest of the instructions. What do I have to do to make the content of the /blog subpage available as a feed?

you either

A) create a template file `templates/feed.php` and a `content/feed/feed.txt`, the template needs to echo the result.

B) use virutal pages setup via [routes](https://getkirby.com/docs/guide/routing).

I found a less complex but working solution:
