  Have been unable to get RSS feeds working in my standalone WordPress. If I paste in, e.g., a Yahoo feed, the news items show in the sidebar but the URL for the feed gets appended thusly when you click on it.
  (http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/tech/http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080304/ap_on_hi_te/solar_plant).
  The original feed is http://rss.news.yahoo.com/rss/tech

  A Google news feed on the other hand will not even show the items.

  By the way, I have used multiple themes on different domains with the same result. The only common factor is my host where all the domains reside.

  I haven’t found much info on this issue. Can you help??

  Sorry, the URL was too long and got cut off.

  If you have a standalone WP blog, you need to be over at WordPress.org. Because our software works differently, we will not be able to help you. Differences outlined here:
