RSS FEED not found error message

    Recent observation of some attempts by site visitor to receive RSS feeds resulting in the following error message displayed on my Dashboard:
    —————————————————
    WP 321, 20-10 theme, plug-ins up-to-date enabled, nothing else
    —————————————————

    RSS Error: A feed could not be found at http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch_feeds?scoring=d&ie=utf-8&num=10&output=rss&partner=wordpress&q=link:http://wp.joshuatreestar.com/

    I’m not at all familiar enough with WP to diagnose what this means. Is there “something” I need to “activate”, implement, install? From what I’ve read in a couple WP manuals including latest edition of WP for Dummies, this RSS item should be pretty automatic without user intervention.

    Other RSS topics on this “.org” facility are anywhere from a year to 4 years old and where those topics have since been closed.

    My site is a “local news oriented blog” without bells ‘n whistles. Appreciate a little help. Thanks

    Thanks ESMI for a prompt reply

    That works for “me”, the site owner, and it works. Now, I have no clue what my site visitor sees… or gets when they attempt to subscribe to my RSS feeds.

    What I do not “see” on my site is the RSS bug, anywhere, which implies that RSS feeds are not available from my site.

    Although, the RSS bug is present on the browser (IE 8)

    That error message is what is displayed in the “INCOMING LINKS” panel.

    Any additional thoughts? –BF

    There’s an Entries RSS link in your sidebar, if that’s what you mean.

    Hmmmm Thanks for the reply.

    Let me restate the apparent problem. “I” the site owner/admin (etc) am not trying to “subscribe to my own site’s RSS feeds.” Someone “out there” is trying.

    This is what I “see” on my Dashboard in the “Incoming Links” panel:
    ————
    RSS Error: A feed could not be found at http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch_feeds?scoring=d&ie=utf-8&num=10&output=rss&partner=wordpress&q=link:http://wp.joshuatreestar.com.
    ————

    My question is: Have I done something, or not done something to cause this error to appear? Or, the question could be: What causes this error to appear and why? Or… is this “error” something to ignore?

    Thanks
