Most blogs that have RSS also have a `<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml">` tag that redirects you to the RSS feed. If you pass the link to the homepage to a feed reader[^0], it will follow the link tag and find the RSS feed.

[^0]: At least, Liferea on Linux, NetNewsWire and Vienna on Mac, do this. AFAIR NetNewsWire is even smarter than that, and can sometimes find the RSS feed even when there is no link tag.

A bit of a snag is that many CMSes generate multiple feeds, and there is no way I'm aware of for identifying which is the "canonical" feed.
