Feeds with WP?

While playing with shortstat, I found out that my error page (404) generates also stats, as it is based on PHP and it includes the generic footer. This is a nifty feature and I immediately found a few issues.

Some robots are trying to access /journal/atom.xml, /journal/rss.xml and journal/index.rdf — and they are promptly receiving 404. I fixed two of these, atom.xml and rss.xml, with simple rewrite rules (see below), but I don’t grasp what I should return for index.rdf. Any help is appreciated.

If you’d like to do the same, consider using the following rewrite rules in .htaccess file in your WP blog directory.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^rss.xml$ wp-rss2.php [L]
RewriteRule ^atom.xml$ wp-atom.php [L]
< Since last visit for shortstat
Shopping books for the trip >
