  When attempting to make my blog a Feedburner feed, it told me “We could not find a valid feed at that address.”

  I clicked on the feed validator and it gave me this message:
  “This feed does not validate.
  Server returned HTTP Error 404: Not Found

  In addition, interoperability with the widest range of feed readers could be improved by implementing the following recommendation.
  line 28, column 150: Unregistered link relationship: search”

  Here’s the link so you can see the code it wants me to edit: http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3a%2f%2fthisismorningblog.wordpress.com%2ffeed%2f.

  My question is – how do I edit the code? I can’t find where I’m supposed to be able to change what it wants me to. Thank you!

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

  So far I’m finding that I CAN’T edit the code because I’m on WordPress.com and have not paid for an upgrade. I don’t want to buy the customization upgrade because I don’t need it. Should my feeds work without purchasing that? How can I get someone to fix this for me? I can’t find any way to contact anyone at WordPress except for the forums. -___-

  The reason you don’t have a feed is, you don’t have any posts; you only have static pages. Make some posts and problem solved.

  Ugh. Thank you. I didn’t realize you had to post in order for it to even be found. I wasn’t to the posting point yet – just getting everything up and organized.

  No worries. In my experience, the sooner you get posting, even badly, the better. The internet waits for no woman.
