I think you've figured this out, but you'd want more than one article in a feed. I have some feeds with hundreds of items in them. It's up to you and the frequency of your updates.
Make sure you have one combined feed as well. Some potential subscribers may want it all. 1.When i complete my code for rss (and upload it on my server), i have to create rss files for every category with some default articles in it? When a user publish an article it's better to update the current rss for this article's category or replace it with a new rss file with this only one article in it? An other question i have is if a user subscribe to an rss, lets say just with firefox, how and when firefox will inform the user for a new update?
That varies. Feed readers will normally have a set update interval, but that can often be customized by the user. You could expect anything from almost real-time updates to hours or days between pings.
