   I have been given a blog to update and the address is here:
   http://www.kenistoncompany.com/ppc-and-sem-news
   As you can see, the wordpress install is located on a subfolder of the main site.
   I burned a feed at feedburner and then put it into the Feedburner Feedsmith plugin and saved the changes.

   However, when I go to the blog and try to sign up for a feed by clicking the RSS icon in the browser address bar, I get this:
   http://www.kenistoncompany.com/http://www.kenistoncompany.com/ppc-and-sem-news/feed/atom/

   So, the Feedburner changes aren't working and that extra url is added at the front. Tried de-activating and re-activating plugin, no change.

   They do have custom permalinks enabled.

   Not sure how to work around this. Any help is appreciated!

   Hey! I fixed it!

   But, please let me know if this is something that's going to blow up in my face later on ;^)

   I went to the header.php file and there are two calls for rss and atom feed urls:

   <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS 2.0" href="/<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>" />

   <link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Atom 0.3" href="/<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>" />

   I edited those two by simply inserting the Feedburner URL feed into both like so:

   <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS 2.0" href="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/KenistonCompanyBlog" />

   <link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Atom 0.3" href="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/KenistonCompanyBlog" />

   Now it works in both the address bar and the sidebar link.

   hope this helps!
