I log into WordPress and go to Design and then click on Widgets and then I select the RSS option and then insert the URL for the RSS feed.
This is the URL I was given: http://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/base/user/MizMelzy/albumid/5223675868387682081?kind=photo&alt=rss&hl=en_US
It gives me the option of how many I would like to display. I have it set to 6. Then it gives me the option to display the author and the date. I can also select display item content. When I do that though I get just HTML garble.
Here is the URL. http://tshirtsnmorestore.com/melsblog/
I have the display item content selected and you can see the HTML garble that I get.
Thanks

When I try to input that link this is what I get:
Error: could not find an RSS or ATOM feed at that URL.
The URL that’s given for RSS feeds at Picasa is:
http://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/base/user/MizMelzy/albumid/5223675868387682081?kind=photo&alt=rss&hl=en_US
Any suggestions? Thanks

No, the http part is right.
However, the RSS widget only shows linked titles, not content. So in the case of a Picasa feed, you’d only get the image names.
Also, the “content” of a Picasa feed is a rather annoying bit of HTML tables. This is the fault of Picasa and its weird feeds.
If you want Picasa pictures in a widget, find a Picasa widget plugin instead.
