This document is deprecated! The information on this page refers to a Thesis version that is now obsolete. Please visit the Thesis Docs for current documentation.

By default, Thesis includes a “Subscribe” link in your navigation menu (with the nofollow attribute enabled) which points to your RSS feed URL:

Then, uncheck Show feed link in nav menu (note that the other options for the feed link will be hidden once you uncheck this option):
