    i ran through the WP documentation. the one that works for me is .../wp-rss2.php

    Try the subscribe-me plugin. To see it in action, click on my blog link above and scroll down - lower sidebar at right, below the AdSense tower.

    sounds great, thanks minstrel. have to wait till i get home to do it. i don't understand why my webhost cannot quickly solve their file manager problem..:mad:

    i've so much to learn about WP...should i get rid of the META section on the page? looks kinda cluttered.

    I usually pull that section and just have a link or two to the feeds in the footer

    Look for something like this in your sidebar.php file:

     <li id="meta"><h4><?php _e('Meta:'); ?></h4>
     	<ul>
    		<?php wp_register(); ?>
    		<li><?php wp_loginout(); ?></li>
    <!--		<li><a href="feed:<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>" title="<?php _e('Syndicate this site using RSS'); ?>"><?php _e('<abbr title="Really Simple Syndication">RSS</abbr>'); ?></a></li> -->
    <!-- 		<li><a href="feed:<?php bloginfo('comments_rss2_url'); ?>" title="<?php _e('The latest comments to all posts in RSS'); ?>"><?php _e('Comments <abbr title="Really Simple Syndication">RSS</abbr>'); ?></a></li> -->
    <!--		<li><a href="http://validator.w3.org/check/referer" title="<?php _e('This page validates as XHTML 1.0 Transitional'); ?>"><?php _e('Valid <abbr title="eXtensible HyperText Markup Language">XHTML</abbr>'); ?></a></li> -->
    <!--		<li><a href="http://gmpg.org/xfn/"><abbr title="XHTML Friends Network">XFN</abbr></a></li> -->
    <!--		<li><a href="http://wordpress.org/" title="<?php _e('Powered by WordPress, state-of-the-art semantic personal publishing platform.'); ?>"><abbr title="WordPress">WP</abbr></a></li> -->
    		<?php wp_meta(); ?>
    	</ul>
     </li>
    
    Code (markup):
    and then just comment out the parts you don't want (as I did above using <!-- and --> around the unwanted links) or comment out the entire section.

    I just left the "Admin" and "Logout/Login links" because they're handy to have. I had actually meant to do this before so thanks for the reminder! :)

    i just deleted the ones that i don't want. i suppose commenting out is so that if i ever need it next time i can just remove the comment tags, right?

    so i i wanted to add another category of list called "items for sale" i'd just add this code:?
    <li id="item"><h5><?php _e('Items For Sale:'); ?></h5>
    Code (markup):

    That looks like it should probably work - give it a shot. :)
