  Hi,
  I’d like to be able to follow some non-wordpress blogs in my reader. Usually, if I copy and paste the http address, I can get the reader to follow them. However, I recently tried this with a blog that purportedly is powered by wordpress, but I get a message the the reader can’t find the rss feed. Here’s the specific blog I’m trying to follow: http://www.strangehistory.net
  Like I said, there’s a note at the bottom of the blog that the site is powered by wordpress. Why can’t the reader find it? And what can I do to follow it so it shows up on my blogroll?
  Thanks,
  Clio

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

  Click this link http://www.strangehistory.net/feed/
  Note it diverts to http://feeds.strangehistory.net/strangehistory?format=html
  The feed has been diverted to Feedburner and that’s how you subscribe to get post from that blog emailed to you.

  Thanks, but I’m also trying to get it to show up in my blogroll. I can get them emailed to me personally, but how do I get it to show up in my blogroll on my notablewomen wordpress site?

  A Blogroll contains links and you already know the URL for the blog http://www.strangehistory.net/

  If you want it in your blogroll, put it in your Links widget.
