   I need help with how to allow others to subscribe to my RSS feed. I have an embedded wordpress blog, so I am not even sure what my wordpress URL is. The blog address is twofootcreative.com/blog

   Thank you

   Thank you for the URL!

   I did read through that link you sent me very thoroughly, but there are so many alternatives and I don't know enough about any of this to know what I should do based on my blog. Where do I insert the URL - into an RSS widget? A text Widget? Do I just copy and paste it or do I need to give people options for how to receive the feed?

   Thank you

   Hi Mikey,

   That looks great! Here is my second question... (I hate feeling so incapable as I do with this blogging thing). I download plugins I want, then it says to extract them in your wp-content/plugins directory - where is that directory?

   Thanks again...

   well, that article pretty much tells you what you need to know.

   It really depends on where you want the link to show up - left menu? in the footer area? some other place?

   you can use that link I posted above and just add an HTML <a href= link - or if you want to do it in PHP, the page about feeds tells you the php code needed to grab the URL from the WP engine.

   So... I have no idea about code at all. My blog does not have side bars, it all shows up at the bottom of the blog due to it being set up to be optimized on various computer sizes and browsers (I did not do that, my webmaster did).

   Let's say I just want it at the bottom of the page where my search feature is.
