Thank you! I'm glad that you told me that MillionRSS might be "designed to promote feeds rather than host them". Now I know that I was barking up the wrong tree. I added you to my blogroll. I hope that you do the same. Thanks again for the advice, Lynie Great! Thank you!

I got stuck in the same loop, then I think I figured it out. I now have an icon. I think it works? This tech stuff is a pain.

You might want to sign up with <a href="http://www.feedburner.com" rel="nofollow">Feedburner</a> and run your blog's feed through it. If you don't know your current feed's URL, you can just enter your blog URL and Feedburner will find the feed for you. Then, use your Feedburner feed URL on your blog for others to subscribe. After your Feedburner feed is setup, go into your MillionRSS account and change your feed there to your Feedburner feed's URL. If you don't want to use Feedburner, just go into your MillionRSS account and make sure your feed is set correctly. I think the MillionRSS link is just supposed to link to them and not directly to your feed, as from what I can tell, they don't manage your feed at all--they just help you promote it. In which case, you'll need to manually set up a link to your blog's feed in your sidebar. If you get stuck somewhere, just leave a comment!

I don't know how to correct it. I have e-mailed RSS for assistance, but have not heard from them. Do you know how I can correct this? I'm a new blogger. I want people to be able to link my blog to their reader easily, but don't know how. Feel free to e-mail me if you want.

This technical stuff is difficult. I will have to double check it. I use it all the time now. It comes in very handy. Thanks for the tip. This technical stuff is difficult.
