Feed not found or is not accessible
Periodically, I get the message on the widget that "feed was not found or is not accessible." Today it's doing that. I always go to the blog to see if it's up and seems to be functioning which it does. Is there anything I can do to "reset" the widget? My blog is www.celebrategreen.net/blog
I’m not happy

Inappropriate?Hi Lynn,
You may want to clear your cache before you hit your blog again. The response time from your blog itself was extremely long. Additionally, you'll want to check the feed as well as the blog, as this message means that the feed was not responding in time.
The message will update about every 15-30 minutes, but there's not a way to force a refresh on the feed.
You should really look into these response time issues with your hosting provider. Another option, if you're OK with slow response times, would be to put your feed through Feedburner, which may let you force the refresh when your site's not responding.
Hope this helps, Lynn!

Thanks very much for responding, Dave. I'm not sure how to "check the feed," but will search on how to do that. This information was helpful and I'm gonig to work on it. -
Sure thing, Lynn. By 'checking the feed', I just mean try hitting the feed instead of the blog. Here's your feed URL: http://www.celebrategreen.net/blog/?f...
Currently, your feed is responding between 6-12 seconds, which is really quite slow for something so light.
I hope you can get to the bottom of this! -
Inappropriate?OK, I see, Dave. I did clear the cache and that helped. Of course, that is with IE, seems to do OK in Firefox, but from what you're saying, the long response time is an issue for anyone who comes to the page so I really want to see if we can speed it up. I will talk to our web guy. Love Widgetbox primarily because for people like me, who don't know the back end, it's such a breeze. Thank you for your quick response. I really appreciate it!
I’m happy
