  I am trying to add ‘www.loveteachblog.com’ to my ‘Blogs I Follow’ category. But I keep receiving the message ‘An RSS or Atom feed could not be found for that blog’ when I type the URL in the box. Can you help?

  Thanks!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi,
  Did you use the URL http://www.loveteachblog.com/?

  Hi,
  Have you read and followed the instructions of the “Follow a Blog Not on WordPress.com” section of the Following Blogs support page?

  The site might not have a feed – it looks like a plain web site with no content – have you been able to make a feed work in your browser URL?

  @ auxclass,
  The OP says, as I understand it, that the ‘An RSS or Atom feed could not be found for that blog’ error message occurs when an attempt is made to add the site http://www.loveteachblog.com/, which is a developed site with posts spanning five years, to “Blogs I Follow.” Is the development of https://theinappropriateteacher.wordpress.com relevant?

  Thanks for your responses.

  Yes, the site I am trying to link to (www.loveteachblog.com) has posts spanning five years.

  Yes, I followed the instructions for linking to a non-Wordpress website.

  I don’t know what it means to “make a feed work,” as I’m brand-new to this.

  I’m not sure what the question “Is the development of https://theinappropriateteacher.wordpress.com relevant?” means. Relevant to what? Both sites relate to teaching.

  Thanks!

  @ theinappropriateteacher,

  Is the development of https://theinappropriateteacher.wordpress.com relevant?

  That question was directed to auxclass, who seems to have misunderstood the issue. He said,

  The site might not have a feed – it looks like a plain web site with no content

  Which apparently refers to your site, https://theinappropriateteacher.wordpress.com. It doesn’t matter if the site is “plain” or has little content, because adding a website to its “Blogs I Follow” list has, or should have, nothing to do with the appearance or development of the site.

  Yes, I followed the instructions for linking to a non-Wordpress website.

  Thanks. I have no explanation for the error message you’ve repeatedly received when, if I understand correctly, you’ve attempted to add a site to your Blogs I Follow list. I’ll tag the topic for staff attention.

  Hi there,

  I found a link at the bottom of that blog to their Atom feed:

  http://www.loveteachblog.com/feeds/posts/default

  However, that feed isn’t accessible — it redirects to their site’s home page, so there isn’t any way to view it.

  If you’d like to subscribe to that blog’s feed, I’d recommend getting in touch with the blog owner and let them know that you’re having trouble accessing their blog’s feed. Since that blog is hosted on Blogger, they can manage their feed settings with this Blogger guide:
