  I have added the WP application to my LinkedIn profile. Works very well.

  In the future I am thinking to use my own domain http://www.brainpool.jp for the blog currently specified at the application.
  Question: Will the application still work and display the blog post or does it have to be a URL containing the wordpress part like I currently have?

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

  The LinkedIn WordPress App will work for a self-hosted WordPress.org blog or if you use a custom domain here at WordPress.com. Note that if you have a self-hosted WordPress.org blog, you must reference WordPress in the generator tag in the feed for it to work. Also, the feed should validate. You can check it at http://feedvalidator.org/

  designsimply. I am having problems getting my self hosted blog to feed this app. Could you explain how I reference wordpress in the generator tag? I get this error…
  http://glenborn.com/?feed=rss2 is inaccessible.

  feargall,
  This is the forum for free-hosted wordpress.com blog, NOT for self hosted wordpress.org blogs. That is here: http://wordpress.org/support/

  That said, your feed is valid, but there is a slight error in your feed
  http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http://glenborn.com/?feed=rss2
  although that should not have any effect in this case

  Have you tried the atom feed?
  http://www.glenborn.com/?feed=atom

  And BTW, nice theme you are using.

  @feargall,

  I don’t know why, but something on your site seems to be redirecting your feed to a URL like /?feed=rss2?032ac020, which returns a 500 internal server error.

  It doesn’t happen when I fetch the feed myself, but it does when WordPress.com fetches it. My best guess would be that perhaps you’re using a link/referrer tracking plugin that sniffs the user-agent string – but that’s just a guess.

  Confirmed:

  
curl -A 'WordPress MU Feed Client' -D - 'http://www.glenborn.com/?feed=rss2'
HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily
Content-Length: 0
Location: /?feed=rss2?65e6b9e0


  I don’t know what’s causing it but the problem is definitely on your server – probably some kind of link tracking tool as I suggested above.

  Is there a way to upload a LinkedIn button ad to my blog homepage?
