  Hey there,

  Does anyone have any insight why some of my feeds work at wordpress.org, but those same feeds don’t work at wordpress.com?

  here’s an example:

  Can you be more specific? What doesn’t work and where isn’t it working?

  Hi Mark,

  Thanks for your response.

  I’m pretty green at blogging, so I’m just using the RSS widget in both cases.

  When i enter a feed url like the one above into my blog at wordpress.org it works no problem. but when i type the same url into the widget on wordpress.com it doesn’t work.

  Seems strange, because on the .com version i have other feeds that work without any trouble, but i can’t get yahoo or google news feeds to work.

  Clearly I’m no programmer, just trying to make it work.
