How 2 avoid Feed XML in Google Searching

To my suprise, when I Google for my site, I often find the 'Recent Photos' link from Smugmug's feeds (..../hack/feed/mg). Clicking on it brings me to a page of XML. Unluckily, this is the first hit in Google for my site!

Am I doing something that creates this file? Is there a way to suppress its creation? Or a way to hide it from Google?

Thanks,
- Gary.

    I'm sorry but you cannot avoid Google from finding public feeds on your site, and I don't know how to influence where they appear.. Wish I had a different answer for you Gary!

    Searching your site I found this first?

    Yep and I get a feed link, which, in any modern browser (IE7, FF, Safari) will be able to be viewed and one click on the thumbnail gets the viewer to your site.

    IMO, the more links the better :)
