I am attempting to add the news gator button to my blog, but I use wordpress. According to the newsgator instructions: Copy the above HTML to your site, and replace "RSS_URL_HERE" with your feed URL (Atom or RSS). When users click on the image, they will automatically add a subscription to your feed. Where do I find the feed url to replace "RSS_URL_HERE"? is it just my regular url - http://www.republicofm.com? Thanks

The default feed URL for wordpress blogs is
http://www.yourdomain.com/wp-rss.php for RSS .92 and
http://www.yourdomain.com/wp-rss2.php for RSS 2.0
(looks like you are generating both - not a problem)
So if you wanted to, for example have people subscribe to the RSS .92 feed via the NG button, the href would be
http://www.newsgator.com/ngs/subscriber/subext.aspx?url=http://www.republicofm.com/wp-rss.php
If you want the RSS 2.0 feed to be subscribed to instead, just add the 2 after the "-rss" in the above URL.
Personally, I would use the RSS 2.0 feed as it a little better developed than .92

| Thanks for your help, and it worked, but one last thing - when it pulls the info, its lists the site as [feed 232224] and not it's name under "my feeds", is there to make it list the name when it pulls the info from the blog?

To be honest, I'm not sure. I'm not really a WP guru - I use MT myself, but usually there should be something in your WP configuration that will let you give the feed a title or edit the feed template to include the title - the WP forums would probably be the best place to find that information.

There seems to be no title passing through. If you look at the feed itself http://www.republicofm.com/wp-rss2.php, you'll note that the 6th line down shows the title as blank. I believe this can be configured in WP by going to the Options tab and ensuring you fill in the "Weblog title:" text box.
