RSS

    Usually, like with Blogger, if I want to find out what the heck the link would be for the RSS, all i have to do is click the orange box on the tool bar. WordPress totally lacks this HUGE convience for a very non-techo geek person like me.

    Haven't a CLUE what the heck the RSS address would be for my blog, and WordPress seems to like keeping this sort of information some kind of techno-geeky secret, cos' I can find a darn thing anywhere in my dashboard, to indicate how the heck I'm supposed to find this elusive proverbial RSS feed.

    WordPress is not always user-friendly for the beginner or novice computer user. It would be really nice if they'd consider doing what other blog sites do, and have a simple click-it-to-find it RSS option, instead of throwing us non-experts to the wolves.

    Can anyone out there, tell me in simple, plain English, how to find the RSS feed webaddress or whatever you call it, for my blog, so I can actually HAVE an RSS feed?

    Cheers!

    The blog I need help with is roastingdavidtennant.wordpress.com.

    Whopps, dropped a letter....I mean't that I "can't" find the RSS feed address or link or whatever it's called, for my blog, anywhere on my dashboard.

    Unlike the situation with blogspot blogs, all wordpress.com blogs have built-in feeds for both entries (posts) and comments. There is nothing for you to "set up".

    Setting that aside, the blog linked to your username is NOT a wordpress.com blog and we only provide support for wordpress.COM blogs here.

    If you are referring to a wordpress.COM blog then please post the complete clickable URL for it starting with http://

    So I'm trying to get my wordpress.com blog to show up in the Amazon Author Central blog via rss, but I'm getting an error message "Make sure you're using the RSS feed address, not the web page address.

    They don't seem to like my address: http://suelange.wordpress.com

    Is there something I'm missing or is Amazon just not working with wordpress blogs?

    Thanks for any help.

    This is the correct URL for your blog http://suelange.wordpress.com
    This is the correct URL for your blog's RSS feed for posts (entries) http://suelange.wordpress.com/feed/
    This is the correct URL for your blog's comments feed http://suelange.wordpress.com/coments/feed/
