    I have 3 blogs and am trying to add feedburner to them. When I try, I get this error message. Missing atom:link with rel=”self”

    The solution they say is:
    Solution
    If you haven’t already done so, declare the Atom namespace at the top of your feed, thus:

    <rss version=”2.0″ xmlns:atom=”http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom”&gt;
    Then insert a atom:link to your feed in the channel section.

    Below is an example to get you started. Be sure to replace the value of the href attribute with the URL of your feed.

    Is this something I do in WordPress? If so, how?

    Thanks.

    Ignore it. This issue will be fixed in WordPress 2.5 (out in a couple weeks), and really, it doesn’t affect anything anyway. It’s not worth the trouble to “fix”, and it doesn’t break anything in any way at all. It’s just the Feed Validator being picky.

    Wait for WordPress 2.5. Then it will be fixed.

    But how do I make feedburner work on my blog if I ignore this issue? The page that shows this solution doesn’t allow me to go anywhere where I can get the code to activate feedburner on my blog.

    Huh? Feedburner should not require that. It works fine on my blogs and I don’t have that.

    Also, I don’t understand what you mean by “activating feedburner on your blog”. Feedburner doesn’t work that way, it mirrors your feed on their site. You need to use the FeedSmith plugin on your blog to redirect your feeds to feedburner, after signing them up on FeedBurner, of course.

    But if you must fix this right now for some reason, download this latest copy of wp-includes/feed-rss2.php and use it on your site (replacing the existing one). See if it works.
