 * Try editing your sidebar.php and your header.php files.

 * Hi there. Still trying to work around getting the feed to work. As you can see
   in my sidebar.php the line for the feed is correctly build and on my blog the
   feed button is displayed correctly.
 * But the problem is the link to witch it directs… the feed directs to the link
 * [http://glenmcardle.com/feed](http://glenmcardle.com/feed)
 * instead of:
 * [http://glenmcardle.com/feed/rss/](http://glenmcardle.com/feed/rss/)
 * I also see on the corredt feed link above that my feed is not named. I wish for
   it to be called Glen McArdle.
 * Anyone please as to were I can change the direction of the feed to the proper
   adress and how to change the feed name?
 * All help greatly appreciated.

 * Do you have a folder named **feed** in the root level of your website? If so,
   rename it as it is not part of WordPress and is breaking things. If not, then
   you need to check permissions because I get a 403 forbidden for the feed directory(
   which shouldn’t even be there).

 * Thanx, that was indeed the problem.
 * Now I have my feed working, but at the top it now shows Nameless and I would 
   like it to show Glen McArdle; where can I edit this??
