The RSS Viewer web part is missing from the "Add Web Part" menu

To fix this -
In order to use the RSS Viewer on a publishing site, you need to go to your top level site, select "Site Actions"-->"Site Settings"-->"Modify All Site Settings".
1.
Under "Site Collection Administration", click "Site Collection Features" and enable "Office SharePoint Server Enterprise Site Collection features".
2.
If the issue persists then do the following-

1. In SharePoint Central Administration, go to Operations.

2. Under "Upgrade and Migration" select "Enable Features On Existing Sites".

3. Select the checkbox and click OK.

  2. If you need to do this in SharePoint Service V3 you need to do this via XML WebPart
