  I was told to submit my blog to various sites such as the one below however it asks:

  To validate the reciprocal link please include the
  following HTML code in the page at the URL
  specified above, before submiting this form:

  How do I do this?

  Also I’m told that RSS is an important button to have on the home page, any idea how to do this?

  thanks in advance.

  Use the RSS widget or the Meta widget to put your RSS feed on your blog.

  Without seeing the actual code, I can’t say how to do it. Please paste the exact code here between backticks so it shows up properly, like Backtick, all the code, Backtick.

  Thanks.

  I found the RSS widget (ok so it wasn’t that hard) but now it’s asking me for the rss feed URL? I’ve googled it came up with the link below but it still doesn’t make sense to me.

  http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Feeds#Finding_Your_Feed_URL

  And I think this should be my feed url but not sure?

  URL for RDF/RSS 1.0 feed
  <?php bloginfo(‘rdf_url’); ?>

  Boy am I on a steep learning curve…

  thanks.

  You really should try the support documents here – looks pretty automatic to me.

  Thanks auxclass, by following your links the first thing i learned was i should of been adding the widget “rss links” as opposed to “rss”. I’ve installed it and it now appears on my page. the issue i have now (and I’m not sure if this only appears on my page) is when i clink on the rss link a page of random code appears.

  not sure if it will happen on your end but here’s the blog page

  Every wordpress.com blog has two RSS feeds. One for posts (entries) and one for comments. These are yours:
  posts (entries): http://dysfunctionalbachelor.wordpress.com/feed/
  comments: http://dysfunctionalbachelor.wordpress.com/comments/feed/
  Your RSS feed for post is working correctly. It’s presenting your posts in reverse chronological order like it should. It’s not presenting a random order.

  To reduce the number of posts appearing on your front page > Settings > Reading
  To set the number of posts appearing in your RSS feed > Settings > Reading
  Blog pages show at most __posts

  Syndication feeds show the most recent items
  For each article in a feed, show
  __ Full text

  Above I meant to type: Your RSS feeds for both posts and comments are working correctly.
