Edit footer.php in the theme editor and remove ‘feed:’ from the RSS entries and comments links.
Got it. Thanks much. I used feedburner.com to create feeds that work in multiple readers and I replaced the php links the footer with the feedburner links. Is that what most people do? I noticed that the default links just open up browser windows with the feed code. Thanks. J.
The feed code is meant to be read by a feed reader program instead of a web browser. FeedBurner just makes it look nicer if you are looking at it in a web browser.
Popular news readers that support feed:// include:
* FeedDemon
* NetNewsWire
* NewsGator Outlook Edition
* SharpReader
* Shrook

Yep. You may also want to edit .htaccess so that your old feed URLs go directly to your feedburner feed. http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_FeedBurner
If other websites want to use your RSS feed, you should keep a link to the feed somewhere.
I just put an RSS link in the footer that went to an overview. Like http://rss.news.yahoo.com/rss/
That way, people who know about RSS can get the feed (like on the Yahoo page) and those who know little can get more information.
This is all really helpful – Thank you so much. – Jenna
