The RSS feed URL
-
The RSS feed URL I have entered on my Amazon Author Page for readers, takes them to a page written in HTML. I can’t read it; probably others can’t as well.
How can I find the correct link?The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi!
Please share your site link and the page this is happening on. I can answer further with that information.

Thank you, strikebuys.The page is my Amazon Author Page: https://www.amazon.com/author/sallyforestgoodbooks
You will see that there is a link to the blog on my website, but he link comes up in HTML.
My website is: http://www.sallyforestgoodbooks.wordpress.com

Thanks for sharing the links, but I don’t see the page that actually shows the HTML content on your site.
Can you link me to the actual page instead of linking to your homepage https://sallyforestgoodbooks.wordpress.com/, please?

Hello there, do you mean the Author updates on your Amazon Author page which is populated by your WordPressdotcom site’s RSS feed? If so, I currently see the updates on your Amazon Author page. Here’s a screenshot. https://screenshots.firefox.com/lCiqUhI2siVsBzDW/www.amazon.com
If you see something different, please take a screenshot and upload it to your site’s Media Library. https://en.support.wordpress.com/make-a-screenshot/
Also let us know what browser and OS you are using. Thanks.

That is absolutely amazing, justjennifer. That is what one would like to have there. Attached is the screen I get (in Australia, either through amazon.com.au, or through Amazon Prime) when:
1. I click on my author page,
2. I click on blog feed link from the Author Page.In addition, there is no point on the Amazon book page where a reader can go to the Author Page.
Thank you,

Hello again, email attachments don’t come through to the forums. You’ll need to upload the image to your site’s media library or another public image sharing utility and link to it or let us know that you’ve uploaded it to your web site and we’ll tag this thread for Staff.
From my web browser, when I click through any of the Author Updates links to your WordPressdotcom site on your Amazon Author page, I arrive at a very normal looking webpage using the Twenty Thirteen theme.
I click on blog feed link from the Author Page.
If you are clicking on a link to the raw RSS feed like https://sallyforestgoodbooks.wordpress.com/feed/ it will not appear like a webpage. Looking at your Author Page, I don’t see such a link.
Again, please let us know what browser and OS you are using.
I’m not sure what you meant on the last bit:
In addition, there is no point on the Amazon book page where a reader can go to the Author Page.
If this deals with how your information appears on Amazon, that is somewhat out of the scope of our forums, but there are links to help for Author pages at the bottom of your Author Page.

Hello again, I understand from this now-closed thread https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/link-to-amazon-author-page?replies=2&message=closed that you are still having difficulties.
The feed URL you mentioned is correct. Why that feed URL is not working as expected on your Amazon Author page is perhaps something you should ask at the Amazon help community. There are some links at the bottom of your author page https://www.amazon.com/Sally-Forest/e/B075Q2S8NC which may assist.
For what it’s worth, I still see your author page as in the screenshot I provided and if I click on a post title on your author page, I am taken to the relevant post on your WordPressdotcom site.

I’m using Google browser. I still don’t see the blog posts listed on the author page as you see in your screen shot.
I will take your advice and go to Amazon.
Thanks for your persistence. -
