RSS, Comments RSS, Atom Buttons

The buttons aren’t really supposed to “lead anywhere”. They merely provide a visible presence of your Feeds. They say “Hey, I have feeds on this page and site!”

You can see that they are working when you scan the page for feeds using any feed reader.

The “feed:” prefix is so that properly configured browsers can open the feed in a proper feed viewer.

If there isn’t a feed viewer set up with your browser, it won’t work. If you’re using Firefox, it will popup with a “feed is not a registered protocol”.

Safari automatically takes the feed: URLs and displays them fancy. If you want to see the feeds inside your browser, take off the feed:.
