Feed problems - PLEASE HELP

[T Pat]

I've noticed a bunch of blogs that haven't removed the feed: in the footer
here's what the code looks like before removal:

<hr />
<div id="footer">
<p>
<?php bloginfo('name'); ?> is proudly powered by
<a href="http://wordpress.org/">WordPress</a>
<br /><a href="feed:<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>">Entries (RSS)</a>
and <a href="feed:<?php bloginfo('comments_rss2_url'); ?>">Comments (RSS)</a>.
<!-- <?php echo get_num_queries(); ?> queries. <?php timer_stop(1); ?> seconds. -->
</p>
</div>
</div>

<!-- Gorgeous design by Michael Heilemann - http://binarybonsai.com/kubrick/ -->
<?php /* "Just what do you think you're doing Dave?" */ ?>

<?php wp_footer(); ?>
</body>
</html>
