Sorry. Should have been more descriptive. This is not a link in the site. This is the channel element "link" in the feed as per RSS specifications.
The spec says the link element should be "The URL to the HTML website corresponding to the channel." (http://feed2.w3.org/docs/rss2.html) So it should probably be http://mlkshk.com/user/negatendo for my feed at http://mlkshk.com/user/negatendo/rss but currently it's http://mlkshk.com/None (an "uh-oh" page).
It's mostly a technicality, but with some readers such as Google Reader, you can follow the "link" channel element from an rss feed to see which site it's derived from using the link circled in red in the screenshot. I think the expectation is clicking that link takes you to the source of the feed.
