# RSS Setup..

 * I have a self-hosted WP blog, [http://www.timhickey.com](http://www.timhickey.com).
   I am trying to figure out RSS. I thought I needed to set it up but when I went
   to feedburner.com and entered my blog it came back with feeds at 3 URL’s. Here
   they are:
 * RSS 2.0: [http://TimHickey.com/feed/](http://TimHickey.com/feed/)
    RSS .92: [http://TimHickey.com/feed/rss/](http://TimHickey.com/feed/rss/)
   Atom 0.3: [http://TimHickey.com/feed/atom/](http://TimHickey.com/feed/atom/)
 * I wanted to know which one I choose and what else I need to do to get the RSS
   feed working? I entered the site for validation but it said it cannot validate,
   which I thought was because it wasn’t set up, which apparently not true since
   those 3 domains were returned.
 * Please help!
 * Tim

 * you want to use the RSS 2.0 feed for your blog
 * [The errors](http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Ftimhickey.com%2Ffeed%2F#l46)
   in the feed are self-explanatory

 * Do I need to do something in WordPress to have it validated or is the feed automatically
   live when the blog goes live? I just went to feburner and it burnt a feed, but
   the aggregator I want to use says to turn off feedburner.
 * I do need to add an RSS button and I link that to the URL I posted above, correct?
 * Sorry, new to ll of this RSS stuff, trying to figure it all out.
 * Thanks,

 * > The errors in the feed are self-explanatory
 * I looked at the results, I didn’t realize they were from my site.
 * I am not to familiar with HTML. The first issue was about iframe. All I didd 
   was puut a URL in a post and linkeid to the page, I didn’t do anything involving
   HTML. Do you have any suggestions how to fix it or know where I can go to find
   information on it?
 * Another one was on the object tag, which I copied the embed tag from photobucket
   and I guess that was in it.
 * The second to last issue, if you look at the two lines beneath it they are the
   same but are not highlighted, so I am not sure why one line would be an isssue
   andd the other two are not.
 * The last issue mentions it could be dangerous. I have no idea why.
 * This is very confusing. I only use the dashboard and the controls on it, so not
   sure why all the issues.
 * Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
 * Tim
 * P.S. Do you have any WP people you can recommend to help me with any issues? 
   I need some code inserted and a header and opt-in box made..as well as a new 
   template.
