RSS Feed for blog
-
Hello..I am interested in putting an RSS Feed icon in my Stay Connected widget on my blog. I put in all my social icons the old way a few months ago. I downloaded special social icon buttons from Etsy and want to use the matching one for the RSS feed. I think I need to input my blog url/feed for the RSS feed but it isn’t working. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I will keep trying to figure it out in the meantime! Thanks. Mary Ann

I must be doing something wrong because this is what I put in…
<img src=”http://thebeachhousekitchendotcom.files.wordpress.com/2014/10/rss.png” />
and the icon is not coming up. It’s just an X in a box and when I click on it my feed doesn’t come up either. Any idea what I am doing wrong?
-
Sorry, that didn’t come out right. This is what I put in
<img src=”http://thebeachhousekitchendotcom.files.wordpress.com/2014/10/rss.png” />Thanks! Any ideas?

Where is the icon? -

I see it now. The URL is incorrect: You put
https://thebeachhousekitchen.com/feed/ (with https)The correct URL is http://thebeachhousekitchen.com/feed/
-
Aditionally, the URL of the icon is incorrect too.
https://thebeachhousekitchendotcom.files.wordpress.com/2014/10/rss.png produces an error:
404 — File not found.Upload the icon again.

Ok I got the first part right, but I am trying to fix the icon and it isn’t working. I looked at the properties of the rss icon and it says rss.png and that’s what I put in? Any ideas?
-
For some reason when I put in the other icons months ago I remember having the same problem, but I can’t remember. Ugh!

I am an idiot! I figured it out!! Thanks so much!! I also have a special PinIt button that came with the set of icons I purchased from Etsy. Can I possibly input that into CSS so that comes up on all my photos instead of the standard button from WordPress? Thanks so much for your help!

Nope, it was just a mistake. You’re welcome & best wishes.
For that
Can I possibly input that into CSS so that comes up on all my photos instead of the standard button from WordPress?
perhaps we should expect help from an CSS expert like Richard, AKA @thesacredpath

Hi Mary Ann,

Because of how that PinIt button is loaded on the page, there isn’t a way to replace it with a custom image using CSS. The script that creates the button on your images will override any custom CSS you add to your site.
Sorry I don’t have better news for you about that!
