This isn't the correct mailing list to ask these kind of questions, but (in
an effort to be helpful) are you saying you tried using the exact URL below
as an RSS feed?

http://www.facebook.com/people/Rescue-Volunteer/100000717094455

If that's the case, then I should say that, you can't just use any URL as an
RSS feed.  (That Facebook page URL outputs HTML and not RSS.)  The URL must
actually output RSS.  For example, the URL below outputs RSS:

http://changelog.ca/feed/rss

If you look at it in FireFox, you will see that the browser "handles" it
differently (than a URL that outputs HTML).
