  I am having trouble adding my blog to my author central page on Amazon. It is asking for an RSS feed. Where is that located on my dashboard? I put my blog address in and it doesn’t work. Thanks!

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

  Thank you! I tried the link that you had above and it still didn’t work : ( I am sure I am just doing something wrong. I will watch the video!
  Here’s what it says:

  Error

  The URL is invalid or this is the web page URL not the RSS URL. Please check for spelling or other errors.

  http://enlightenmysenses.wordpress.com/feed/ should work. Remember to keep the /feed/ on the end

  The correct RSS Feed URL for your Posts is http://enlightenmysenses.wordpress.com/feed/ but I have discovered there is an issue with the feed that Staff needs to address.

  Your RSS feed contains invalid XML:
  XML error: Invalid character at line 171
  <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
  <rss version=”2.0″

  I’ll tag this thread for a Staff follow-up. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.

  Hey there!

  Your feed wasn’t validating because of some unaccepted code in your blog posts. I set your RSS feed to Summary (in Settings -> Reading), such that only a text summary of your posts are included in the feed sans the HTML coding.

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/reading-settings/#general-settings

  Your feed should be good to go now. Can you try adding it to Author Central? Let me know what happens. Thanks!
