 * Hi folks. I am new to the WP world, but I can already say I think I am here to
   stay for a while.
 * When I click on the link to subscribe (right next to the rss icon) to an article(
   [http://reallystupidsite.com/feed](http://reallystupidsite.com/feed) ) I end 
   up getting a 404 error.
 * I figure I have set something up incorrectly, I just don’t know what.
 * Any and all help is appreciated.
 * Shmengy out.

 * Do you know how I would correct the link to the proper URL? Do I need to upgrade
   the template or do I just need to fiddle one of the settings in the admin panel?
 * Thanks again.

 * before anything I would update your permalinks
    chmod .htaccess to 666 pick correct
   permalink settings you want save chmod .htaccess back to 644 for security this
   should get everything working correctly
