  Hi,

  I am trying to provide a feed link on my page (via a subscribe button) but although I seem to have the right url link (http://clerkenwellbookworms.wordpress.com/feed/) when I follow it it shows the source code. Can you help?

  Many thanks,

  Nick

  Hi, are you perhaps loading the feed URL in Google Chrome? Chrome does not render the actual RSS feed and only shows the source of the feed.

  If you load the feed in Firefox or Safari you’ll see the items in your feed.
  http://getfirefox.com/

  Also, if anybody added the RSS feed of your site into their RSS reader they would see just the new posts. The source code would not be apparent to them.

  Andrew,

  You are not called a happiness engineer for nothing!! Thank you!

  When I click on the feed in explorer it works perfectly. That seems to be a bit of a poor design flaw by Chrome…

  I’m much obliged for your help!

  Very best wishes,

  Nick
