   I'm still have a problem with my feeds.

   Blog: http://www.diary4life.com

   When I click on the RSS link http://www.diary4life.com/?feed=rss2 it tries to connect to my Feedburner feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/diary4life/wUhf. This throws up a 404 error.

   Can anybody please help me with this problem and how to correct it?

   Regards

   Paul

   If you are the publisher of this feed, sign into FeedBurner and visit your feed's “Troubleshootize” tab to view FeedMedic, our automated diagnostic report for your feed. A cause for the problem, and tips for troubleshooting it, may be found there.

   Perhaps I'm not understanding something with feeds, to be honest I know there's lots I'm not understanding!

   Blog sire: http://www.diary4life.com

   When I click on my RSS button on the blog (http://www.diary4life.com/?feed=rss2) it gives me an error message. Please look to see what I mean.

   When I click on my feedburner counter (http://feeds.feedburner.com/diary4life/WfQI) it works fine.

   Should RSS and Feedburner be giving the same results or not? I don't know I'm new to this game.

   I did what you suggested but it said the feed was fine. Does that mean the RSS or Feedburner feed or are they both the same?

   Many thanks for your patience!

   Regards

   Paul

   it seems your rss icon/link is redirecting wrongly
   try this plugin

   Thanks for the info samboll.

   I tried that, downloaded the plugin. Alas, no change.

   It's still showing the same error.

   Should clicking the RSS link or Feedburner link take me to the same place?

   Can the clicks take me to different places? If so how do I fix the RSS to take me where it should take me?

   Regards

   Paul

   since you have feedburner - they should redirect to feedburner

   Why do you use feedburner - what are the benefits?

   Thanks for your reply.

   I don't know, that's how things are working out.

   If I knew how change it I would.

   I've now sorted this out. I discovered the feed was looking at the wrong address. I'm happy now!
