Delete the word “feed” from the rss links and it will work.
Most people will get the same error. Safari is one browser that will handle the feed: protocol, but your firefox friends will often go ‘huh?’.
One option you hvae is to edit your theme and remove feed: from the uri. People who have rss readers will understand they can copy the link and paste it into their rss reader. People who click on it will see the rss feed in their browser, but unformatted.
Or you could just leave it as it is, and put a little explanation with it.
feed: isn’t quite ready for prime time in my opinion. I’d really like to see firefox (and any browser) come with default behaviour when someone click on it. It *should* prompt you for an action, like to add it to your livebookmarks or something.
In the end, people who understand rss won’t have a problem with it as it is. People who don’t understand rss probably won’t click on it. And if they do, well, perhaps it’s best to let them be confused.
give it a year or so, and maybe we’ll be prime time with this.
oh, and you have a parse error with your feed. this is why sage won’t understand it. separate issue. http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwolfeislandmusicfest.com%2Ffeed%2F I think the reason for this is because you need to set a proper nickname for your admin user.
