  Hello!

  I must be a complete idiot as I am unable to add an RSS feed to my sidebar. I have tried to follow the instructions in the FAQ but I have two problems:

  1. Nothing shows up on the sidebar
  2. How do I link to the RSS image? Do I need to upload it somewhere first?

  Thanks in advance.

  Cheers
  Meg.

  Is this the blog you mean? In the sidebar I see a title RSS Feed for Megumi Meg. If that’s in a text widget, you need to add the address of your feed so you can make it clickable. Try putting this in the text widget.
  <a href="http://megumimeg.wordpress.com/feed/">RSS Feed for Megumi Meg</a>

  For the RSS image, those are stored on WordPress and all you have to do is link to them. The different sizes are here:

  The code for an image and your text should look something like this; all you do then is to add it to the text widget. Hope that helps. :)

  Sorry, the last bit should look like this:
  <a href="http://megumimeg.wordpress.com/feed"> <img src="http://faq.files.wordpress.com/2006/11/l28.png" height="28" width="28" /></a> <a href="http://megumimeg.wordpress.com/feed">RSS Feed for Megumi Meg</a>

  Thank you! I’d kind of worked it (late into the night and after I’d sent the SOS) – appreciate the extra help!
  Cheers
  Meg.
