Dear Kirsty,

I’m so glad my instructions were helpful in turning your Worpress blog into a website.

Removing the RSS icon from the address bar is quite simple, really.
You’ll need to go into your header.php file and remove all of the following (you may not have all listed):

<link rel=”alternate” type=”application/rss+xml” title=”RSS 2.0″ href=”<?php bloginfo(‘rss2_url’); ?>”/>
<link rel=”alternate” type=”text/xml” title=”RSS .92″ href=”<?php bloginfo(‘rss_url’); ?>”/>
<link rel=”alternate” type=”application/atom+xml” title=”Atom 0.3″ href=”<?php bloginfo(‘atom_url’); ?>”/>

Be sure to “save changes” and that’s it. RSS icon is gone!
