What is with the feed: in the footer ?

Don’t quote me, but it looks like “feed:” is being used as a protocol type (like “mailto:” and “aim:” etc.). Presumably, this means that it will eventually be recognized by feed readers and aggregators allowing you to subscribe to an RSS or ATOM feed simply by clicking the link. I’m not aware of any aggregators or feed readers that actually use it at this point though.

To get rid of it, just delete the “feed:” bits from the “footer.php” file in your template(s).
