 * the code snippet on page [http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Feeds](http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Feeds)
   did not work for me. I am using WP 1.5.1.2 . The code halfway down the page says:
   ‘
    - 
    - ‘
       But the php function bloginfo returns the ‘feed:’ part, so the URL is then
      wrong. I removed feed: and it worked.
    -  This is a problem, since i relied on the docs, and had to debug it without
      wanting to get into that much detail..

 * Thats weird cause I had the same problem today with my theme. I clicked on the
   feed and I noticed it was feed://domain.com/…

 * The documentation needs to be updated to mention the use of the [`feed:`](http://www.25hoursaday.com/draft-obasanjo-feed-URI-scheme-02.html)
   URI declaration.

 * ok, my bad. The feed: part was not supplied by bloginfo(), it was the static 
   text. I sent a URL/URI in the form of
 * feed:[http://xxx](http://xxx) to RSSValidator, and it worked. SO I was confused.
   I took _out_ the static feed:, and it worked again. hmmm.. I don’t want to know
   the details about this, but it is necessary to add an RSS button… What’s the 
   story here?
