?IE 9 Not recognizing FFA rss.xml

I cannot get IE 9 to see my home page's RSS link. I have no problem with any of the other browsers.

To make sure I had a valid feed I went to Feed Validator and entered my site. Here is the page that came up: http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.consider-the-lilies.org%2Frss.xml

I don't really believe that the rss.xml generated by FFA is incorrect; but since I do have this problem with IE 9 I wonder if the following recommendation is true:

"This feed is valid, but interoperability with the widest range of feed readers could be improved by implementing the following recommendations.

line 36, column 4: Missing atom:link with rel="self" [help]"

If this is a valid recommendation can someone tell me how to make the necessary edit in my rss.xml file; i. e., what is the specific code, please?

Thanks very much.

I think it may be an issue with IE9 specifically on your system. I was able to open and read your feed in an instance of IE9 on one of my test systems. Perhaps it's a setting somewhere in your installation of IE regarding the feed reader settings?

Also, the Feed Validator message is indicating, and rightly so, that the feed doesn't have the ATOM specification in it. FeedForAll uses the RSS2.0 specification and doesn't implement any of the ATOM tags.
