  Your blog’s RSS feed is at https://lostwithlaulu.wordpress.com/feed/

  Bloglovin should accept the above feel url.

  Also what exactly is a rss feed?

  Please check this support doc: https://en.support.wordpress.com/feeds/

  Could you let me know what are you trying to do and share the bloglovin link to which you are trying to add your WordPress.com RSS feed url?

  Its like adding your blog to their website so they can stream your posts however its saying that mine doesnt exist. I put it through this website to see if its invalid and it says it is. Except I dont know what that errors mean or how to fix them

  I have the same problem over here with my new domain http://www.cinomon.com when I try the “validator” it says ten errors (!) . I can’t even find the code page of my blog, so at least fix it :(

  Hi @LaurenNicole

  There is nothing wrong with our RSS feed which can be accessed from lostwithlaulu.wordpress.com/feed but you don’t need RSS feed to claim your blog on Bloglovin.

  Please go to https://www.bloglovin.com/myblog
  Click on Claim Blog
  In the search box enter your full blog address: lostwithlaulu.wordpress.com
  Click Search
  Your blog will be shown in the search result
  Select your blog and follow the next steps.

  Hi @Cindy

  Please follow the above steps, search for your blog cinomon.com and claim it on Bloglovin.

  I’m having the same problem on both Author Central and Goodreads. I’ve used http://www.royjeffords.wordpress.com/feed, and both say invalid RSS feed. Any suggestions?

  @royjeffords

  If you click on that feed url you linked, you will see that it is indeed a valid feed.

  So please check with Author Central and Goodreads on why do they think the feed is invalid.

  I have the same problem with : https://headivided.wordpress.com/ I am claiming it on bloglovin but it can’t find it. I check my blog on http://validator.w3.org/ and it says that there are errors but i don’t know what that errors mean. When i went on: https://www.bloglovin.com/myblog and claimed my blog it says that: We found 201160 blogs matching https://headivided.wordpress.com.
  But there isn’t mine

  Having the exact same problem with tomorrowliving.me. I’ve also tried http://tomorrowliving.me/feed/ and it still will not work. I’ve checked the feed validator and it says there are problems but I don’t understand them… has anyone got it to work yet?!

  I can see your blog on Bloglovin at: https://www.bloglovin.com/blogs/tomorrow-living-13976555 as you linked on your sidebar.

  Are you seeing any problem on your end?

  I am able to search for your blog on Bloglovin as you can see in this screenshot: https://cloudup.com/cwRhvd7rIG9

  I searched for myneolife.me, as you can see in the screenshot. Are you searching differently?

  Which problem do you see in validator? I see https://cloudup.com/cYNG4iRktwy which is not a problem at all.
