# 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.

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