  I am not able to customize my widgets. Last week I was editing my widgets like crazy. I rearranged the sidebars and the footer. I went in to continue editing my blog and customize my widgets and now I see I can only edit the footer? Not sure why.

  Also I am having trouble with my blog pulling into an RSS to Email. The pictures do not show up. They told me that I need to edit my blog to have the images show up as img. Specifically look more like this: <img
  src=”http://dailyclassicrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/2013-7-16-ledzeppelin-300×144.jpg/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/2013-7-16-ledzeppelin-300×144.jpg”
  alt=”Plagiarism in Rock Music: What? Led Zeppelin? Written by William Belle” width=”300″>
  I don’t know how to do that. I am wondering if the problem is with the template I chose? I am not having trouble with other companies RSS feed to Email pulling in the pictures just this one. Get Response is the company. Please let me know what I can do.

  Thanks!
  Amanda

  Many questions.

  1. Customizing Widgets. Did you switch Themes? The sidebars and footers should still be there. Look carefully all around and scroll down on the Widget Screen to see if you can find them. Click their title to open them. They are there, just might be lost on the page depending upon the size of your monitor screen and if you zoomed in or out.

  2. I don’t know what “pulling RSS to Email” means. I think you mean having your site’s posts be pushed out through email by a third-party via your site’s feeds. Your site’s feed shows that the images are displayed separately.

  The image are put in correctly. You can see the code if you switch to the TEXT Editor (upper right corner of the post writing area). Feeds do not normally display images, but the problem could be that you have put a link around the images to the article which you reference in your “click here” link at the bottom of the article. This might be part of the problem as the images should not have such a link unless the image is a logo or screenshot of the article and site you are referring to.

  3. WordPress.com supplies you with an Email Notification service for free. I recommend you check it out and possibly use it as a free alternative to the paid service.

  The images are correctly linked (to the image), and WordPress handled that right. Consider removing the link around the image to the article, see if Get Response works better with that. You are doing everything else okay, so the issue is with their service.
