  Hi there,

  It looks like Flickr has changed the structure of their RSS feeds a bit. The widget still works, but your Flickr RSS URL may need to be changed.

  Your RSS URL can be found on your photostream on Flickr (not a photo, album, tag, or any other page). Scroll down to the bottom of the page until you see the RSS icon and “Subscribe to [name]’s photostream.” Right click on either and copy the URL and paste that into the widget’s Flickr RSS URL box.

  This change on Flickr’s end has the potential to break everything that uses a Flickr RSS feed, so if you as a customer could let Flickr know, we’d (and everyone else who relies on Flickr RSS feeds) would really appreciate it.

  It is entirely possible that the new design may be rolling out gradually and that what I see under my Flickr photostream is not the same as what you see. What I can see for sure is that the structure of the RSS URL has indeed changed, so contacting Flickr may be the best course of action for you.
