Hi @bearraven , Thanks for the details! What you’re seeing is expected behavior – most browsers display raw RSS feed URLs (like https://bearandraven.com/feed/ ) as XML or an HTML-formatted version, depending on how the browser handles RSS. If your audience isn’t familiar with RSS, you might consider disabling the icon. I see you’re already offering the “follow by email” option, which is a great alternative.
Thank you very much. I didn’t realize that was as intended. Anytime I click on an icon that looks like this on other blogs, it subscribes me to a feed. I will remove it in order to eliminate any confusion. You’re right, the follow button works as intended. Thanks again.
