+### Front matter "nofeed" for RSS
+
+If you have pages, posts or other content that should not show up in the RSS
+feed of your website. You can set the new front matter `nofeed` for this
+content. It's a boolean, you could use either `true` or `false`.
+
+If you want to modify the `index.xml` layout. Copy the Vitae layout from
+`hugo-vitae/layouts/index.xml` to your Hugo site root directory into the
+folder `layouts/` and change it the way you want.
