Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Blogroll Widget with RSS Feeds

Go to the Links Panel Click Edit at the respective Link Scroll down to the Advanced Box In the field RSS Address type the respective RSS Address e.g. http://www.crazytoast.de/feed/ or http://feeds2.feedburner.com/plerzelwupp Be careful with the trailing slash / at the end of the RSS Address! A feed without trailing slash need to be entered without it, a feed with trailing slash need to be entered with it (see above examples). Any mistake can cause that no feed post is shown in the respective item of Blogroll RSS Widget.
An empty place for the feed post of a blogroll link reports a wrong entered RSS Address. I rather decided to leave the output empty in this cases than showing up an error message. An error message is not a lucky solution for your visitors. Go to the details of the respective blogroll link and correct the RSS Address.
If you have chosen the option Create and show thumbnails in the Blogroll Widget with RSS Feeds, the thumbnails are generated automatically via m-software.de. This service is free of charge. As condition for using this service the link Thumbnails by M-Software.de has to be displayed. Alternatively to Create and show thumbnails you can choose Show my own images and enter your own images to the respective links.
Go to the Links Panel Click Edit at the respective Link Scroll down to the Advanced Box In the field Image Address type the respective Address of the image. If you do not have own images you could enter here the gravatar address of the autohr, e.g. http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/ef5de17b226669a2a7a335ea8167e29d
