Thank you! I get it. Appreciate your help. Joanna Stuart Whitmore <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: In a nutshell, you'll want to use /atom.xml at the end if, and only if, the intended "audience" is expecting to see and/or process XML data. Generally, since computers read XML much better than humans (or at least more efficiently, if not as intuitively), this usually means you'll use it only when you're having some sort of computer system handle (in some manner) the XML data for your feed. Examples include suggesting the feed in Syndic8, giving FeedBurner the source to convert to other formats, having FeedValidator.org test it, etc.
By contrast, when including the address to your blog in your email, you would not include it, because the "audience" for that is people who will be expecting to read a blog, not XML-formatted data.
