  Hi,

  I am trying to claim my blog on bloglovin but it cant be found. I used a feed validator which said there are 49 errors and 7 warnings! – http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=www.holidaygirl.org&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0

  I don’t use HTML, I am new to blogging and I create all my posts, pages etc through wordpress, never going near html code, so I genuinely don’t even know where to start to fix this!

  I would be so grateful for any help or advice you could give me.

  Thanks so much,

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi Bonnie,

  Please note that you did not use the link to your feed. The link to your feed is:

  http://holidaygirl.org/feed/

  And you will see that validates, as seen here.

  Cheers!

  Hi Grace,

  Thanks so much. I am trying to get my blog on bloglovin and it says I need to post code in the metadata area. This doesn’t come under any obvious heading on the dashboard and even though I have downloaded the wordpress metadata plugin, I can’t find a plugin area either. I don’t want to paste the code into a blog post as then it can be seen and I feel this looks very unprofessional. Any ideas? Thanks.

  Please note that we don’t allow plugins on WordPress.com for security reasons. It’s only allowed on WordPress.org with the WordPress install. However, we do have many sites on WordPress.com on Bloglovin. You should only have to enter the link to your feed:

  http://holidaygirl.org/feed/

  If you enter that URL, which leads directly to your blog’s RSS feed, Bloglovin’ should find you correctly.
