 * Hi All,
 * I have an RSS feed generated from my blog posts. This feed goes to many places,
   including my LinkedIn profile and web site. All of a sudden, it stopped working–
   now in all the places that were fed, the message “The feed URL [http://mysiteaddress/?feed=rss2](http://mysiteaddress/?feed=rss2)
   is inaccessible.” displays.
 * If I click on the RSS icon on the blog, the following message displays: “ERROR:
   rss2 is not a valid feed template”.
 * Any ideas why it happened?
 * Many thanks in advance!

 * I had the same issue for quite awhile. I finally got it resolved by using the
   following format:
 * [http://mysiteaddress/feed](http://mysiteaddress/feed)
 * Any variation on that gave me that same “URL is inaccessible” error you were 
   seeing. I used to be able to use the “only show posts tagged with linkedin” feature,
   but it no longer appears to work.

 * Hi,
 * It’s [http://writepoint.com/blog/?feed=rss2](http://writepoint.com/blog/?feed=rss2).
 * The blog URL: [http://writepoint.com/blog/](http://writepoint.com/blog/). On 
   the right, there is the RSS button, which worked before. Then all of a sudden,
   we began to get this message. As a result, the RSS also disappeared from LinkedIn.
 * Many thanks in advance!

 * Hi,
 * Thank you for the response! Where did you change this? Have you done anything
   with the RSS files themselves?
 * Thanks!
