 * I have just set up Word Press for the first time. I clicked on the link at the
   bottom that says: “Entries (RSS)” but it gives an error:
 * Invalid Syntax Error
 * feed:[http://www.sounddesign-ni.co.uk/wordpress/?feed=rss2](http://www.sounddesign-ni.co.uk/wordpress/?feed=rss2)
 * Is there something I need to do to get this up and running? As I say it is a 
   clean install so I haven’t mucked around with an code (ie. it’s not an error 
   I have created).

 * As you are currently using the “default” theme..go to /wp-content/themes/default
   and look at the file footer.php.
 * You will see the “bloginfo(‘name’) is proudly powered by..” portion of the code.
   There you will see the two RSS links (entire and comments). Remove the “feed:”
   portion from the link and you should be OK.
 * Regards
