RSS feed errors

    I am brand new to WordPress but have always been impressed when I see someone else using it. When I click on either the Entries(RSS) or the Comments(RSS) I just get an error:The page cannot be displayed. I have succesfully been able to see RSS feeds on another platform in the past.

    I am using IE. I do have it set to include date and post title in post’s filename. I am using the default (Kubrick) template. What am I missing?

    Do I need to create the folders for these two RSS files to be generated?

    Thanks in advance for any assistance.
    BTW I have tried to find the answer reading other RSS support threads and reading the WordPress documentation.

    where do the rss links direct you to?

    Here is the link format for the regular feed: feed:http://”mydomainname”/WordPress/feed/

    Seems reasonable to me. But there is no feed directory.
    That is why I asked if I had to create one for each feed.
    There was nothing I read that said I needed to.

    The bottom line is what actually creates the feed files?

    the first thing you need to is remove the feed: part out of that link.

    open up footer.php

    find:

    <a href="feed:<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>">Entries (RSS)</a>
    and <a href="feed:<?php bloginfo('comments_rss2_url'); ?>">Comments (RSS)</a>.

    and remove the two instances of feed: so that it looks like so:

    <a href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>">Entries (RSS)</a>
    and <a href="<?php bloginfo('comments_rss2_url'); ?>">Comments (RSS)</a>.

    do not copy and paste my code, in the event this forum cut anything off. I was merely giving a visual example to show you what to look for.

    the feeds are dynamically created and and no, you do not want to create directorys.

    a link to your blog would be most helpful btw.
