  for example when I submit to IceRocket.com
  I get:
  IceRocket was unable to find XML feed for this URL.
  (the url is my blog+/feed/)

  WordPress does not serve xml.
  The feeds that are available are all readable by all the popular places. IceRocket will get there.

  I’m confused. Aren’t RSS and Atom both forms of XML?

  They could well be – what I meant was that while other blog platforms have a /feed.xml url, WP does not so if something is specifically looking for feed.xml it will fail.

  As for RSS / Atom / Gdata and all that – I neither understand or care to be honest, though many seem to be very passionate about these things. As I read somewhere earlier “whatever tickles your pickle” :)

  I’m curious now myself as I’m able to add in one WP blog hosted here but not the other four. Rather strange actually. Feedback sent to IceRocket.
