RSS URL – what, where, and how to get it to work with bloglovin'

  • Unknown's avatar

    I’m trying to get images from my blog to show up on bloglovin’… Bloglovin’ is saying that it can’t find/connect to my RSS feed… I thought my RSS URL was http://thelightupnorth.wordpress.com/feed/, and I used that in the RSS widget that I put on the sidebar, but it doesn’t seem to be working… I’m new at this (new as in two weeks) – any suggestions would be great :)
    Thanks :)

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

    That is indeed your correct RSS link. Have you run it through a validator?

    Thank you!

    I did – I found a help topic here that linked to http://validator.w3.org… When I checked the URL there it said, “this document was successfully checked as well-formed XML!”… I was very encouraged by the ! at the end of that…lol

    It did note that, “No DOCTYPE found! Checking XML syntax only. The DOCTYPE Declaration was not recognized or is missing. This probably means that the Formal Public Identifier contains a spelling error, or that the Declaration is not using correct syntax, or that your XML document is not using a DOCTYPE Declaration.” I have no idea what that all means… I’m Googling almost every word, but haven’t been able to figure out what it means and if it has anything to do with the missing images…

    Does any of that answer help?

    I am having exactly the same problem with my blog on Bloglovin’ and also another similar Finnish site. And I received exactly the same error message when I tried the validator. I noticed that the starter of this topic hasn’t been able to fix the issue yet – anyone has any suggestions how to fix the problem that the images are not showing on Bloglovin’?

    Thanks very much in advance for any tips.
