Gotcha, thanks muchly.

I blooming knew it had to be something I was doing wrong. I just couldn't figure it out.

I am off now to check out where you are talking about.

I am so grateful for your help.

So could you tell me what that url is for that I was trying to change?? In case my messing about with it this last couple of weeks has removed an url that should be there.

Hi I am trying to change that url again and it just wont change.

I'm trying to change it to this one

http://yuku-blog-ring.u.yuku.com/feed/get/type/rss/source/post/id/2381

I have added it and left that url in there but it simply wont change.

Last week I thought it might be my cache so I cleared that in both FF and IE.

I tried to change the url in both FF and IE

And this week I am even in a different location using a different ISP.

I honestly just can't figure it out.

I even tried changing it on someone else's computer.

Just to make sure I am doing it right.

I go into....

Developed Widgets
Edit Widet
Where it says Blog/Site I click to edit the url
Add the new url
Click Ok
Wait for "Processing Blidget"

When it takes me back to the edit page no changes have been made.

That is really strange, because I even tried in both FF3 and IE7 in case it had something to do with the browsers.

Thanks for sorting it. If I don't come back next week you know I am fine.

(((hugs)))

Hi, I see you have managed to do it.

Yes I did want that one specific post shown as I am using the widget for a specific weekly featured topic.

What was I doing wrong?? How did you manage to change it as I will be wanting to change it again in 7 days.

Thank you.

This is the one that I would like it to show please.

http://yuku-blog-ring.u.yuku.com/feed/get/type/rss/source/post/id/2353

That url has actually been saved on the widget now, but it's not picking it up. It's still picking up the old url.

Thank muchly.

Nope it's not that. I go to a post, click on the rss and take the url from the rss feed. I do not take it directly from the blog or the post.

If you click on both those urls in my above reply you will see they lead to the rss feed. Although having said that, the second one of those urls does lead to an rss feed that doesn't have images. I gave you the wrong one.

The correct url should have been

http://yuku-blog-ring.u.yuku.com/feed/get/type/rss/source/post/id/2353

I know that Yuku do have strange looking rss feeds, but ...

1) Why would the first feed work and the second not

2) Why would the feeds from other places such as the Daily Mail, twitter, feedburner etc, not work.

3) Why do none of my widgets work regardless of what feed I put into them. and I am putting the feed in and not the actual url to the webpages.

I have tried with Lists, summeries and with and without images.

I have tried every which way but loose.

This feed http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/index.rss

I have just tried as a list to include both summeries and images, and it still wont pick up any new feed.

Please feel free to play around with it as much as you like. I can let my members know that they might see some strange things in it for a while.

Thank you so much for your help.

Old Feed - Which is still showing on this particular widget =

http://blue-green-gem.u.yuku.com/feed/get/type/rss/source/blog/id/653406

New Feed =

http://portia-nicole.u.yuku.com/feed/get/type/rss/source/blog/id/650562

But 1) It is all my widgets that wont change

2) I even tried changing it to a feedburner rss feed, a twitter rss feed, the Daily mail newspaper feed.

I tried all those feeds to test and I also tried my other widgets. None of them pick up a new feed.

Thank you for your help.

Ahhh!!! I have tested my other widgets and also created a new one to play with in case it was just the one I mention above that wont register a feed edit, and none of them will change the feed.
