http://blog.kothea.com/How can I get a browser to ‘know’ where my blog/ RSS feed is WHEN the user visits my WEB SITE – where the web site is somewhere else other than on WP?
Apparently it is something like this (which appears to work):
<link rel=”alternate” type=”application/rss+xml” title=”RSS Feed for kothea.com” href=”http://blog.kothea.com/feed.xml” />
BUT it seems to also ad a second feed with images for each of our blogs contributors/authors? Is this fully correct or am I missing something?
The blog is hosted here on wp but there are some nifty redirects in various places to have the blog called what it is.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

WordPress blogs almost always—and all blogs on WordPress.com always do this—declare their RSS feeds in the source for easy autodiscovery by browsers.
Looking at your WordPress.com and then your main site, it looks like you’ve inserted this correctly. On a cursory glance, I don’t see any other RSS feeds hanging around.

@happinessengineer! In flock 2 orange lights come on next to the url (to the left) – one is a feed of images of the authors of the blog…wierd.
@raincoaster: thanks. just out of interest why not declare the filetype suffix? or is it because the format could change at some point? just wondered.!
It’s amazing how many companies don’t do this!! (Taken me 5 years to realize myself)
