WordPress MU

I'm so sorry if this has been discussed, I just could not find it addressed anywhere. All the rss feeds on my site and user sites have the word "feed" in front of the URL. So the link looks like this "feed:http://blog_root.domain.tld/users-blog/feed/"
Just like the RSS feed link at the bottom of this topic.

TIA

someone has to know...

That's what they are supposed to be like.

Anyone know how to to associate Google Desktop WebClips with feed: based urls?

andrea_r: So, when a user clicks on any RSS link, they can not see the actual feed in thier browser? They have to manually take "feed:" out of the URL in thier browser? Is this right?

Right. Dunno why it's that way, except it is also like that in the regular WP.
Possibly because many people use autodiscovery methods, who knows?

An explanation from the regualr WP forums:

"The "feed:" protocol scheme is similar to "mailto:" in that a program needs to be installed and registered in the OS as the supporting application. When I click on a mailto link my email application loads, and when I click on a feed link my RSS reader opens. But if I don't have programs registered as the default apps, they don't work."

If you like, you can edit the theme and take the "feed:" out of the link.
