how to change rss address for blog?

    Hi again - I'm trying to change my feed URL from the one Carrington has harvested (presumably from Wordpress) to a Feedburner one.
    I've edited the code in sidebar-default.php, but my html header still shows the original:

    <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" href="http://www.test.blindfoldedmarathon.com/feed/" title="Blindfolded Marathon latest posts" />
    9 <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" href="http://www.test.blindfoldedmarathon.com/comments/feed/" title="Blindfolded Marathon latest comments"

    any suggestions if this can be easily changed.

    ps. I don't mind a hardcoded hack; it's never going to change!

    James

      It's a bit lonely in this forum isn't it?!

      Well, for any forum stalkers out there, the way I achieved this was to edit 2 files:

      attachment/attachment-default.php
      header/header-default.php

      I commented out these 2 lines:
      <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url') ?>" title="<?php printf( __( '%s latest posts', 'carrington' ), wp_specialchars( get_bloginfo('name'), 1 ) ) ?>" />

      <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" href="<?php bloginfo('comments_rss2_url') ?>" title="<?php printf( __( '%s latest comments', 'carrington' ), wp_specialchars( get_bloginfo('name'), 1 ) ) ?>" />

      and replaced them with the hardcoded alternative:

      <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/BlindfoldedMarathon" title="Blindfolded Marathon latest posts" />
      <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/BlindfoldedMarathon-comments" title="Blindfolded Marathon latest comments" />

      Anyone got a better idea that doesn't involve this plugin: http://flagrantdisregard.com/feedburner/

      No matter what I tried it just wouldn't work.
