    You need to turn on custom permalinks in order to use /feed

        its just a rss feed for submissions and subscribers... feedburners lets u analyze alot about ur feed

        it is weird thats what everybodys address is, i dont know why mine doesnt

        is maybe because i installed with fantastico?

        Install a fresh instance of Wordpress without changing any settings and it will be /?feed=rss. If you are using a templated installation that already has custom permalinks setup, or if this is just one of the first things you do since its a standard and widely known SEO best practice for wordpress to use custom permalinks, you will most likely never see /?feed=rss

          From my understanding feedburner does not alter your RSS feed URL. Installing wordpress from fantastico doesn't matter. Log in to your Wordpress Admin, go to the bottom left and find "Permalinks" under "Settings". Choose the custom option and put /%postname%. or if you want the date archives, select it, then add /%postname% after it

            By installation template, I mean the following.

            Let's say I am going to setup 10 wordpress sites. The settings and plugins are all going to be the same. I can setup 1 site, copy all the files and the database, and use that as a template. For the next 9 sites, all I have to do is upload the files, create and import the database, modify the wp-configure file with the new database info, and update two rows in the wp_options table.
