  Hi,

  I cannot for the life of me figure out how to either enable or find what my RSS feed URL is.

  I need this in order to ‘claim my blog’ at Technorati. Please help. The answer does not appear to be anywhere in the forums or your support section. …In fact RSS feeds do not seem to get a mention anywhere.

  Hi Designsimply,

  Many thanks. I think I need to add [ /feed ] to the end of my URL. …though how this alerts a browser to the fact that there is an RSS feed available I don’t know.

  TBH, I have an aching brain now! ;-)

  thanks for your help. Have a nice evening.

  You’re right! I pasted the wrong URL before. Sorry about that. :) Good catch.

  The browser knows there is a feed if there is a proper link tag for it in the html header.

  Cheers.

  Hi Design Simply,

  Please excuse my ignorance, but I’m new to this game…

  >The browser knows there is a feed if there is a proper link tag for it in the html header

  how do I put a link tag in the html header? …I’m certain that I’m not doing something right as the little orange RSS button on my browser (I.E in this instance) remains greyed out and does not list any feeds…

  thanks again for your help.

  I’m sorry, the feature designsimply refers to seems to only work on Google Chrome.
  Were you able to successfully verify your blog in Technorati?

  Hi Kardotim,

  no, the verification process has not completed yet. ..so far I’ve been pretty confused by this RSS aspect of wordpress…

  thanks for your help

  Sorry for the inconvenience, Daniel.
  Do you get any specific error message while claiming your blog at Technorati?

  HI Kardotim,

  …it’s not an error message as such. It appears as though the process is ongoing:

  “We have successfully crawled your blog and found the claim token, and your claim is now awaiting final review.”

  We have no control over Technorati’s process. At this point, you’ll need to wait for them to review it.
