RSS widget error
-
I am trying to add an RSS widget to my site (www.gritandglory.com). i’m attempting to add the feed from http://www.thriveafrica.org, but when i add the widget i just get an error message: An error has occurred; the feed is probably down. Try again later.
i’ve added it with the www’s, without them, etc.
what am i doing wrong?
-
Their feed is shown as: http://www.thriveafrica.org/feed/ but when clicked on it redirects to a feedburner feed ( http://feeds.feedburner.com/thriveafrica ), which may be the problem.
-
you rock!
i put in that second feed you wrote, and that worked. how did you find/get that link? (just so i know for next time)

You’re welcome. I got the second link by clicking on the feed link on the blog and it redirected to the feedburner feed.
-
got it. thanks.
think you can help with something else? totally random, but here goes:
when i’m writing/editing a post, there’s a drop-down list of font formats — like paragraph, header 1, header 2, etc. that’s the only way i see that i can make fonts bigger in my posts. anytime i try to use a header format, though, it looks like it’s working in the editing tool, but on my blog, it stays the same old small font. any clue why? or how to fix it?

Header formats do not work well in paragraphs unless you are using them as headings for sections or something like that, and the header 1 is reserved for the blog title.
Short of getting the paid CSS upgrade and then modifying the CSS to make the font size larger, you would have to use a font span tag when you created each post and put that into each post. You would put something like:
<span class="fontsizemedium">Font size medium>
at the beginning before any text (has to be entered in HTML view) and then put</span>at the end of the post.General font size information can be found here: http://www.htmlcss.org/font-size.html

You could also try “fontsizesmall” as most themes use “fontsizesmaller” or “fontsizexsmall”. You will just have to try it out and see what works for the theme you are using.

Itu bukan blog wordpress.com. Neither the blog you are referring to nor the one in your user profile are blogs on wordpress.com. The one you are referring to is a wordpress.org blog. You may want to ask that question in the wordpress org support forum: http://wordpress.org/support/ You will probably find more help there.

The correct code for changing the font size is this:
<span style="font-size:DEFINE;">YOUR_TEXT_HERE</span>
“span” can enclose any portion of a text (even within a paragraph). The same code works with “p” (for a single paragraph) or “div” (for a large section or a complete post).Where I’ve written “DEFINE” you can put:
x-small
small
medium
large
x-largeor a specific font size, this way:
12px

@ kusnoke, Since you are self-hosted and using the software downloaded from wordpress.org, you need to direct your question to http://wordpress.org/support/ . WordPress.com uses a multi-user version of the software which is different than what you are using and few, if any, here know anything about it.
