files structure shows when I click on a XML button

Post by djmac »

When I click on a XML buttons along side of categories I get what looks like page structure language. How do I stop this.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
- <rss version="2.0" xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns:admin="http://webns.net/mvcb/" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:slash="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/" xmlns:wfw="http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/" xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/" xmlns:creativeCommons="http://backend.userland.com/creativeCommonsRssModule">

I re-installed the categories plugin and reconfigured them for NONE rss and it worked, which I am sure that is the way it supposed to. But! why the script when the button is in place.

What you were getting there as XML code is in fact RSS feeds. Those can be used in programms/software called "Feed Agregators". This allows people to read articles of your blog easily without having to go to your homepage, just like malinglists or Newsgroups.

Many people are using this to follow many blogs - I for one wouldn't read a blog which doesn't offer a RSS feed. :)

Ah HAAAAA! Now it is making some sense. Educate me further. How does a subscriber/blogger use that information?
