Valid Rss feed does not display

It looks like you have tried to put the following in:

http://feeds.specificfeeds.com/familyaswego

This URL does not point to an RSS feed, rather, it points to some service which has turned your RSS feed into a list of recent posts (I think??).

You need to put a link to an actual RSS feed into that widget, and this will be turned into a list of recent posts.

For example, try replacing http://feeds.specificfeeds.com/familyaswego with http://www.familyaswego.com/feed/ in the RSS tool.

Alternatively, as this is the same site, try using the “Recent Posts” widget.

Lastly, if you just wanted to link to that RSS service, try adding it as a simple link, not an RSS feed. Because this isn’t an RSS feed.
