After my whole-hearted return to the Default theme in Wordpress, I have now restored the sidebar fully. The W3C code validation links are in, as are the feed URLs. Of course if you are using Firefox, it will have detected the feeds automatically, and you can just use the orange icon at the bottom-right of the screen rather than the links themselves. Livemarks in Firefox (displays stories in a feed as links in a dropdown menu) are vastly superior to any of the various reader programs I’ve used anyway.
