  Hi,
  Is the “Follow” button used for subcribers instead of RSS for adding to a reader such as Google Reader? When I added the RSS widget to my footer (Twenty Eleven theme) It does not work how I wanted it to. I would like it so that when they clicked on RSS, it would be a feed for their reader.
  I would like people to be able to subscribe to my site, but not by email if possible.
  Cheers

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

  Hi. Is this the “Follow” button you are talking about?
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/follow-blog-widget/
  That’s for email subscriptions, not RSS subscriptions.

  You can insert an RSS Links widget (under Appearance > Widgets) or a simple link to http://tauposeniornet.wordpress.com/feed/

  Hi airodyssey,
  This is what I get when I click on the link you gave me for the “simple feed link”
  “This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below”. And then there is a great bunch of Xml code.

  Do I paste that somewhere?

  Cheers
