  I’m sorry – I don’t even know which category to ask this question under, so it may be very straightforward if I could work that out.

  I would like to link my blog to my Amazon author central area, but when I copy in just the blog URL, it is rejected as being not RSS. I can see there is something after the final / on the examples, but I don’t know how to generate it.

  Foxed by that rejection – I come to you for enlightenment, pretty please. :-)

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

  Hi,

  Try this URL: https://judimoore.wordpress.com/feed/. See the Feeds support page for information on RSS and other types of feeds.

  So that’s where I should’ve looked! Obvious when you know, of course. Sorry to be so dim.

  However – I tried what you give above. Author Central still doesn’t like it. I think it wants a . after ‘feed’ and then something more.

  I wonder now if what it doesn’t like is that the ‘feed’ I’m trying to share is a British blogsite, as it is on author central in the US that I’m trying to make this work. There is no such facility to share blog content via RSS on amazonUK author central.

  Does it ask for a specific type of feed? See, for example, the Types of Feeds and Your Feeds sections of the Feeds support page.

  Perhaps they want your author feed: https://judimoore.wordpress.com/author/judimoore/feed

  If that doesn’t help, you may add a “modlook” tag to the sidebar of this topic to call for staff attention.

  Just found this topic thread as I was trying to do the same with my wordpress blog. It works if you just add feed/ after the last / of your address. No period needed.

  @ nchillz,

  Thank you. I hadn’t understood what judimoore meant when she said,

  Yes, definitely there should be no dot (period) after “feed,” or anywhere in the feed URL except in the website address portion of it.

  Thank you very much – it has accepted the ‘author’ RSS feed.
