Relative URL's will more times than not get you into trouble.

Copy the below and use it. I have checked it and it works. Where it says "Post Feed" you can change it to whatever you want and the text will display to the right of the RSS icon to help identify it.

Here is the code that works:

And I finally got it to work! So for anyone else who would read this in the future, here is the code that worked...

The icon is still missing. I feel like I should tell it somewhere what icon I want to use...where do I put that code? (I'm sorry if this is a dumb question.)

You can paste the code here between backticks (the key to the left of the #1 key with the ~ on it).

<a href=”http://your-blog-name.wordpress.com/feed”><img src=”image-location” /></a>

I think you can see the code on my blog, though?

No matter what I type in there and save, it deletes part of the code and puts this in there:

<img>

The blog feed link is there, but no icon. How do I get the blog feed icon to show up? Thanks!

(if it matters, I tried typing it exactly as shown on the instructions from the link above using the words "image-location". I also tried using one of the image addresses for the icon in place of the words "image-location"...both were deleted.)

Is there any other way to accomplish this? I do have the option to edit my CSS code, but if it's done in there, I don't know how to do it yet. Thank you for any help!
