Hello! I was trying to add my blog to Ice Rocket. I thought I had RSS enabled, and therefore an XML feed. But when I had trouble with my submission, I got this message (below) back from Icerocket. How can I add XML feed? (I know HTML, CSS and some php - I just don't understand how the RSS/XML feed works.) Hope you can help!
=======================
Hello, cordelia.
Your blog http://www.vikingprincess.net/ does not have any link to XML feed, so our searcher cannot determine XML associated with your
blog.
thanks.

=======================================
Not familiar with them, but your feed address is:
http://www.vikingprincess.net/feed
Or do they need the rpc file?
http://www.vikingprincess.net/xml.rpc
If just the xml file - top link.

Hi! I submitted the top link - will check back tomorrow to see if it worked. Here is what they say at the submit page:
... please enter the URL to your Blog or to the XML Feed. XML feeds of following formats are supported: RSS, RDF and Atom.
If your URL points to the web page, we will discover your page for XML feeds.
Their site is here: http://blogs.icerocket.com/index?&q=
Thanks for helping!

Then the top link should work. There's not an rss link on your index page that I could find - probably why icerocket didn't.
Most folks have an rss link in sidebar or footer.
@vikinggal - add something like this to your theme's header.php file (between the <head> tags)
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?> RSS Feed" href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>" />
(ideally, that's all one line)
That'll help readers and such "auto-find" your feed. It'll also help browsers auto-discover it as well.

Hi, It was me who posted earlier - had to change alias (again!) as I loose my password.
I believe your solutions are right, but they have not yet resultet in Icerocket picking up my site!
I emailed back to the support again. Let's see what they do!
I added the bit to the head that was suggested by Handy who helped me tons of times! Thanks everybody!
