My youtube widget is not updating
Why isn't my widget updating with new content? I have 5 youtube videos and my widget always shows just the first 3 and does not show my recent two. Here is the widget:

The youtube feed link works fine:
http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/base/u...
Any ideas??
thanks,
brian

Inappropriate?Hey Brian,
It looks accurate between the blidget and feed to me, with 'Heitor Villa Lobos' as the newest item. If you were updating it and wondering why it didn't take right away, there's a 30 minute cache, so you could have to wait as long as 30 minutes (from the time that the feed was updated). So don't forget to factor in however long it takes for youtube to update your feed. It can be hit or miss, as some of my feeds update right away with them, and others not so much...
Hope this helps!

Inappropriate?Actually, I now notice that new videos appear in the widget but at the bottom. It appears that the videos are lsited in order of view count. I wonder how to change that behavior?
thanks,

Inappropriate?Well, you'd just need to point a feed at the blidget that is sorted properly. I found a feed sorted by the Published date and updated your blidget to use that. Give it about 30 minutes or so and see if it looks right then, OK?

Inappropriate?Oh, by the by, one of the Blidget Pro features is to allow you to play YouTube videos inline, as an FYI. might be something to try out by clicking 'Try Pro' in the editor. You don't have to pay to try it.
Just FYI!
