Feed Gadgets Not Displaying Content

Last week, we (some of us) suffered through a feed problem, with blogs published externally using FTP. Over the weekend, we started seeing a new problem with feeds.

Look at the sidebar in this blog, and at "Blogger Status" and "Known Issues for Blogger". Both of those sections are feed gadgets. 1/2 hour ago, the latter section "Known Issues for Blogger" looked as the former "Blogger Status". In an effort to diagnose the problem, I removed and re added the feed gadget for "Known Issues for Blogger", and now have what you see.

If you are seeing either symptom in a feed gadget, whether the gadget is blank, or shows "Loading...", or shows a subject index which contains no detail and no clickable links, please help us (and yourself) out, with details.
  • What's the blog URL?
  • What's the title on the feed gadget, as seen in the blog?
  • What's the feed URL?
  • Is this a redirected feed (FeedBurner et al), if so, what's the redirected feed URL?
  • When did you last update the feed gadget?
  • When was the latest post in the blog?
  • Is this your blog, if so, did you try removing and readding the feed gadget?

Hey Chuck,

I do not use a feed gadget but, I too have a nonfunctioning feed gadget. To answer some of your questions... it's a recent posts gadget on my site www.happinesshelp.org. After clicking edit in the widget from the layout screen, the widget window opens and at the top says "configure feed" yet the rest of the window is blank without the ability to do anything in the window. If you want a sreenshot, give me your email address & I'll send one to you.

Hey Alan,
I have the same problem. I'm a new blogger, but have had the problem since I signed up at blogger.

What's The URL Of My Blog?

We see the plea for help, periodically I need the URL of my blog, so I can give it to my friends. Help! Who's buried in Grant's Tomb, after all? No Chuck, be polite. OK, OK. The title of this blog is "The Real Blogger Status", and the title of this post is "What's The URL Of My Blog?".

Add A Custom Redirect, If You Change A Post URL

When you rename a blog, the most that you can do, to keep the old URL useful, is to setup a stub post , with a clickable link to the new URL. Yo! The blog is now at xxxxxxx.blogspot.com!! Blogger forbids gateway blogs, and similar blog to blog redirections . When you rename a post, you can setup a custom redirect - and automatically redirect your readers to the post, under its new URL. You should take advantage of this option, if you change a post URL.

Adding A Link To Your Blog Post

Occasionally, you see a very odd, cryptic complaint I just added a link in my blog, but the link vanished! No, it wasn't your imagination.
