Problem with my RSS feed
-
OK, most of the next will be Greek :-) to you (silly pun) but any help is most welcome.
I’m trying to set an RSS feed from my main blog http://greekchesspolitics.wordpress.com to a secondary blog of mine, at http://kallitheachess.wordpress.com The position I’m trying to post the RSS feed in the secondary blog is in the left column, right below the grey square logo, but I keep receiving this localized error message informing me that the feed is probably not working and I should try again later. Also in my secondary (RSS not working) blog, the RSS feed’s link (below the grey square) reverses to the secondary blog’s address (while I’ve triplechecked that I’ve entered the correct address in the RSS widget). However, there seems to be no general RSS problem as just above the faulty RSS feeed there is another, seeimingly functioning RSS feed (under the green logo).
On the other side of this interlink operation, in my main blog http://greekchesspolitics.wordpress.com, the RSS feed seems to function well (“Meta” at the end of the first of two widget columns) and equally well is the RSS feed coming from the secondary blog (the 2nd of the RSS feeds in the right widget column).
Any ideas? Perhaps some limit to the number of the widgets (or RSS feeds) I’m allowed to use on the left side of this secondary, kallitheachess.wordpress.com blog?

You are going to need to contact support on this. I think it may have to do with the language. I looked at your page source and it appears to be correct. This is what I see in the RSS widget:
href='http://greekchesspolitics.wordpress.com/feed/'And the feed checks out fine.
(Loved your Greek pun :) )

There is a known issue with the Greek language on WP.com, so support should be able to help you.
Although: could it be the single instead of double quotation marks?

Well, I contacted support as per Vivian’s advice, but I realize now I should have asked you before
where and how could you “see the contents of the RSS widget” (e.g. href=’http://greekchesspolitics.wordpress.com/feed/’) so that I can try to correct it by using double quotation marks as raincoaster suggests? In my viewer (Ffox 3.0.3), the header in my secondary blog still points to the blog itself.
Thanks again to both of you for being around and keeping an eye and helping all of us in the forum.

Vivian was probably looking at the sourcecode, which is one step nerdier than I would go. Have you re-opened the widget and made sure it says http://kallitheachess.wordpress.com/feed inside, regardless of what it says outside?

On the inside of the RSS feed widget in the blog “http://kallitheachess.wordpress.com” (where the problem shows) it says correctly “http://greekchesspolitics.wordpress.com/feed”, but on the outside (where the RSS feed shoud appear) it’s just “http://kallitheachess.wordpress.com” (the blog’s address). This is what makes me feel a little bit of stupid because this isn’t something I’m trying for the first time…
Many thanks anyway raincoaster :-)
