   Hi, all:

   I'm having a problem with browser autodetect of RSS feeds for my site failing.

   When a user clicks the RSS icon in Chrome (or tries to subscribe to the feed in Firefox via the Live Bookmarks option) it fails. (Both Mac browsers).

   Clue: when you hover over these, it gives the user a choice of RSS 2.0 and Atom 0.3.

   But a quick list of view source reveals:

   <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS 2.0" href="" />
   <link rel="alternate" type="text/xml" title="RSS .92" href="http://theblackleatherbelt.com/feed/rss/" />
   <link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Atom 0.3" href="http://theblackleatherbelt.com/feed/atom/" />

   Note that on the RSS 2.0 line, there's nothing between the quotation marks where, it seems to me, there should be http://theblackleatherbelt.com/feed/.

   So...what happened? How can I fix it?

   The feed itself is there; as part of trying to fix this, I upgraded to feedburner, so clicking on that link redirects you to feedburner. The feed validates and all that good jazz.
