    I saw that recent blog points to the main blog url. Why didn't it points to the last entry? I thought that was the point that I enter my url feed for.

    The URL goes to the main blog URL but the title shown is actually the title of your latest post, which is alright.

    Seems taht is a good thing because it also gives you a free backlink for the blog. It is also free!

    Mine goes directly to the post, I guess it depends on what kind of blog you have. I prefer going to the main blog.

    I've been trying to get phpbb to make a mod for blog rss feeds with no luck yet! I think the main page is good for page rank right? If people still care about page rank that is :)

    There are lots of different ways that different forums have implemented this.

    Some
    • save the blog post and url against the post and it never changes - it's a permanent reminder of what was current when you posted, and a permanent deeplink
    • some link to the specific url of the latest post providing a temporary deeplink (as per your suggestion)
    • others just link to the main url and show the title.
    All have pros and cons and it's up to the forum owner to decide which choice to make. In this case it's the 3rd option.
