I have a wordpress blog and I am new to wordpress. I have a couple of people ask me "what is the url to your rss?". I have no idea. How do I add a rss button and/or feed to my blog. Thanks

    Do you have your own installation of Wordpress? If so, you can go here to find out the address of your URL:

    codex . wordpress . org / Wordpress_feeds


    If you have a blog on Wordpress itself, normally it can be found by appending "/feed" to your Wordpress blog address.

    As a last resort, open up your blog and try to find the RSS or "Feed" icon on your page (again, normally, near the top somewhere). Assuming you have the status bar turned on in your browser, you can hover over the icon and the address will display in your browser.

        I had nothing on my blog because I had not installed it, After several hours of reading , going to feedburner, downloading to the proper directory, trying to activate,finding I need a rss "button", did that and now it is functioning and I learned a lot. Often times the instructions you read from one place do not match up with the wordpress interface as it is today so you have to search around and figure it out a little on your own. That is so frustrating but there are at least five ways to do everything it seems on the internet. Anyway it works now. Thanks to all who replied.
