 * Hi everyone
 * When I log into my admin dashboard, I get this error message:
 * RSS Error: A feed could not be found at
    [http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch_feeds?scoring=d&ie=utf-8&num=10&outp](http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch_feeds?scoring=d&ie=utf-8&num=10&outp)
   ut=rss&partner=wordpress&q=link:[http://localhost:8080/wordpress/](http://localhost:8080/wordpress/).
   A feed with an invalid mime type may fall victim to this error, or SimplePie 
   was unable to auto-discover it.. Use force_feed() if you are certain this URL
   is a real feed.
 * Can anybody explain what this means?
 * Thanks
 * Mike

 * This is almost certainly a server issue. Your hosts may be blocking your site
   from accessing content from external sites. You might want to ask them about 
   it.

 * No probs. Just don’t worry about it. It should not affect your site’s functionality
   one bit. 🙂
