    Thanks!

    This is a great question, because I have seen some really jacked RSS configurations out there.

    Basically, WordPress creates an RSS feed automatically–it’s part of the WP code. To get to your feed, just add “/feed/” to your URL, and enter that in whatever program you use as a feedreader.

    I use Firefox as a feedreader. It’s much better than Safari, and light years ahead of any web-based feed readers I’ve seen out there. I’ve had none of the feed issues that other people have been mentioning here since the 1.6 upgrade.

    The advantage of this method is that you can also add feeds for categories and tags. For example, if you have a category called “oceans”, then the feed for that category is “http://www.example.com/category/oceans/feed/”. I use this a lot on the front page of my blog. Check it out (in Firefox, of course) and click on any of the RSS feed buttons there.

    🙂 Excellent info Ken!

    then the feed for that category is “http://www.example.com/category/oceans/feed/”

    Very cool.. I didn’t know you could do that.

    Unfortunately it won’t work if you use feedburner.

    Why I can’t use rss feed, it said:

    This page contains the following errors:

    error on line 12 at column 33: Entity ‘raquo’ not defined

    Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.

    How to fix?

    Replace the contents of /graphene/includes/theme-head.php with this updated one

    It is working in my end. Clear your browser cache by pressing Ctrl + F5. Then try again.
