Check out this post, which has instructions:

For example, getting a feed of posts from the Dresden Files Books forum (board #2 -- you can figure that out by looking at the number of the board when looking at the listing of threads):

http://www.jim-butcher.com/bb/index.php/feed.xml?action=.xml;type=rss;board=2

KNOWN ISSUES

I had thought that this allowed to do a feed of anything on the site like, say, Jim's posts only, etc, but right now it appears that the feature set is less extensive than I'd originally assumed it to be. 

I have also not yet determined how to get it to pass through authentication credentials that would allow perusal of boards that people can't see without membership.  If this continues not to work, I'll open up the posts to be read-only, but no posting access, for guest users.

Corina:
 I am an ignorant hick from way back Could you explain about the rss feed of Jims comments and what does it mean. Try to explain it in small words please  ;D

Start with the wikipedia entry on it:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS_%28file_format%29

(Also, you may want to make sure you aren't hitting return every third word.  Your post is very narrow!)

Annie:
Is anyone else having trouble making this work?  I use RSS feeds in my Yahoo mail and have added quite a few with no problems, but when I try these it always says there is a problem and to try again later.  I've been trying since yesterday.

I don't make much use of these feeds myself, but I'll see what I can figure out.
