 * Hi, I’m trying to use some software that retrieves my RRS feed, but doesn’t work.
   Here’s an email from support about the problem. I don’t know what any of this
   means. Thanks, John

 * Hi John,
 * I’ve just heard back from the programmer and the problem seems to be that your
   blog doesn’t give the main feed address in the header like wordpress normally
   does.
    Our app goes out and tries to discover those from the blog, but if the
   declaration of where the feeds are is not included, then it has no way of knowing
   where to find them.
 * I’m not sure if your blog doesn’t give that because the theme you run doesn’t
   have that feature, or maybe you have a plugin that disables it. But that’s why
   it doesn’t fill those in.
    You might have someone look at your blog setup and
   determine why it doesn’t declare the feeds as wordpress normally would.
 * Best Wishes,
    Lisa Allen

 * My theme used to have `<link rel="pingback" href="<?php bloginfo( 'pingback_url');?
   >" />` in its header.php file, and maybe you need something similar there for
   what you are asking about.
