Different browsers display RSS feeds in different ways, as RSS is just a standardized XML format. It looks like you're trying to view the feed in Chrome. If you try opening it in Internet Explorer, it will likely appear "normal", because IE has a built-in RSS viewer that will format the RSS XML for you.

For example, look at Wordpress' own blog in Chrome and you'll see behavior similar to your screenshot: http://wordpress.org/news/feed/

As a final troubleshooting step if it still appears as XML, you can always try the W3C Feed Validator.

    Unfortunately, there really isn't a solution. You can use something like http://www.FeedBurner.com, which will present your feeds in a nice way. The issue is that Chrome doesn't have a built-in RSS viewer like Safari, IE, and Firefox. See many other posts about it, including Chrome's user group: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1656574/google-chrome-rendering-xml-as-text-for-rss-feed http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chrome/LfDx3j4uYXw – Sean Osterberg Mar 10 '13 at 08:25
