 * Good folks – I realize that for some reason, my question is one no one wants 
   to answer. I don’t know why it’s a bad question and I’m sorry. I’ve spent a week
   trying my hardest with every forum and WP support location to find out why the
   simple installation of an rss widgit to get a subscribe button isn’t working.
   I’ve tried several versions of the URL except the one that can be found in my
   source page. But I don’t know how to access my source page, and have spent a 
   good bit of time trying to find an answer to that too.
    I could cry right about
   now. I promise I am not stupid, not even close. Thank you, whoever will help 
   me with a simple subscribe button. Laura

 * Grey Parrot, thank you so much for answering.
    That’s the first one I tried. 
   I get a page of code gobbledygook with the message “This XML file does not appear
   to have any style information” at the top. These are the four I’ve tried. Nothing
   happens with any of them. [http://example.com/?feed=rss](http://example.com/?feed=rss)
   [http://example.com/feed/](http://example.com/feed/) [http://example.com/feed/rss/](http://example.com/feed/rss/)
   [http://example.com/feed/rss2/](http://example.com/feed/rss2/) I have a hard 
   time testing them because I have to go back and forth between a yahoo and google
   + account. Is there a better way?
 * By the way, my site is [http://postkatrinastella.com](http://postkatrinastella.com).
   Sorry I didn’t give that to you at the beginning. Thanks again, GP

 * Yes,
 * I checked that site and feed too. I shared the proper feed url. Kindly use that
   one.

 * This is what I put in my RSS widget: [http://postkatrinastella.com/feed/](http://postkatrinastella.com/feed/)…
   which is what you told me.
    My friends all say it didn’t work. One said it looked
   like it did work, but they got no email notifications or forms asking for their
   email addresses. Some say they got an error message saying “there is no RRS reader
   installed”. I have never downloaded anything like Feedly, instead subscribing
   to sites by giving my email address to them. How can I install that to my blog.
   One confusion. When you say you know you gave me the proper feed, does that mean
   that you tried it and it did work for you? You got one of my posts sent to you?
   Or at least got a form asking for your email address so that you could get my
   posts? Please forgive me for whatever I am doing wrong. Could I using the wrong
   widget? Laura in New Orleans

 * The error your friends are getting from their widget.
 * Your feed is a valid feed. You may also check it here.
