   HI,

   I Need some help please. I have two issues:

   my site is http://www.Lancesview.com

   1) I have put the default RSS widget on my right sidebar to show feeds from my site. I have entered in my "feedburner" address for the feed. I have 2 post so far but my feed reader widget is only showing 1 feed and I have no idea why or how to fix it. I tried to remove it and reinstall it, but that did not help.

   2) I can't figure out how to put a simple box on my sidebar (or a drop down menu) that will allow a reader to quickly and easily apply to my post feeds and my comments feeds.

   Please help - getting very frustrated.

   Thanks

   Lance

   This is my Sidebar.php file code"

   <!-- RIGHT SIDEBAR -->

   <div id="sidebar-right">

   <?php if ( function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && dynamic_sidebar('Sidebar 2') ) : else : ?>

   • <h2><?php _e('Categories','emerald_stretch'); ?></h2>
     <?php wp_list_cats('sort_column=name'); ?>
   • <h2><?php _e('Archives','emerald_stretch'); ?></h2>
     <?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly'); ?>
   • <h2><?php _e('Meta','emerald_stretch'); ?></h2>
     <?php wp_register(); ?>
     • <?php wp_loginout(); ?>
     • " title="<?php _e('Syndicate this site using RSS','emerald_stretch'); ?>"><?php _e('Entries RSS','emerald_stretch'); ?>
     • " title="<?php _e('The latest comments to all posts in RSS','emerald_stretch'); ?>"><?php _e('Comments RSS','emerald_stretch'); ?>

     <?php wp_meta(); ?>

   <!--<h2>Search</h2>-->
   <?php include_once (TEMPLATEPATH."/searchform.php"); ?>

   <?php endif; ?>

   <?php include_once (TEMPLATEPATH."/_linkads_right.php"); ?>

   </div>

   </div>

   <!-- LEFT SIDEBAR -->

   <div id="sidebar-left">

   <?php if ( function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && dynamic_sidebar('Sidebar 1') ) : else : ?>
   • <h2><?php _e('Recent Posts','emerald_stretch'); ?></h2>
     <?php get_archives('postbypost', 10); ?>
   • <h2><?php _e('Blogroll','emerald_stretch'); ?></h2>
     <?php get_links(-1, '
     • ', '
     ', ' - '); ?>

   <?php include_once (TEMPLATEPATH."/_linkads_left.php"); ?>

   <?php endif; ?>

   </div>

   1. You currently have 2 posts in your WP feed. If Feedburner or the reader widget is only showing 1, then the fault lies with them - not WP. That said, it might take a while for them to update, so leave it for a day and see what happens.

   2. You're already display a link to your feedburner feed. It's the RSS icon in your sidebar.

   Hi esmi,

   Thanks a lot for your help

   1) What do you mean I have 2 posts in my wp feed? Where can I see that? When I look at my RSS feed I set up in the RSS widget on my sidebar I only see one.

   2) People who have never seen an RSS feed would not know to click on the orange symbol in my sidebar. Is there something separate I can add that says something like "Click here to get RSS feed"? I would also like something that will show the posts and comments separately if possible.

   I really don't think it should take a day to populate. It has already been about 8 hours.

   Ok - I got rid of the rss widget and I'm just using the "recent posts" widget - good enough.
   And I found a plugin for the rss icon that says subscribe next to it.
   thanks
