    I have a template outputting {weblog_description} as an rss feed:

    {assign_variable:master_weblog_name="articles"}
    {exp:rss:feed weblog="{master_weblog_name}”}

    <?xml version=“1.0” encoding=”{encoding}”?>
    <rss version=“2.0”
      xmlns:dc=“http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/”
      xmlns:sy=“http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/”
      xmlns:admin=“http://webns.net/mvcb/”
      xmlns:rdf=“http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#”
      xmlns:content=“http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/”>

      <channel>
     
      <title>{exp:xml_encode}{weblog_name}{/exp:xml_encode}</title>
      <link>{weblog_url}</link>
      <description>{weblog_description}</description>
      <dc:language>{weblog_language}</dc:language>
      <dc:creator>{email}</dc:creator>

    Where is {weblog_description} stored? It isn’t Channel description in CP Home ›  Admin ›  Channel Administration ›  Channel Management as all these descriptions are blank.

    Is this an EE1 or EE2 site?  {weblog_description} was an EE 1 field, now {channel_description} in EE2.

    Sounds like Mike’s suggestion is probably the answer. In your post, studio-d, you mention some menus that are in EE 2 while using EE 1-specific template code. assign_variable, for example, is now preload_replace in EE 2. Try updating your RSS template code and see if that makes a difference for you.
