-If RSS and Atom are enabled by default, the [[plugins/contrib/comments]] plugin generates a feed, perhaps `/sandbox/index.atom` for comments on the sandbox. If a blog is added to the page, the blog will steal the name `/sandbox/index.atom` and the comments plugin's feed will change to `/sandbox/index.atom2`.
