    Had a quick look at BDP. It appears to poll when users visit your page, one site per user, or when you hit the poll button. So I loaded your site itself and looked at the source. Sure enough, I found some BDP errors in there, as I expected.

    <!-- BDPFeed could not open http://www.nmindplus.com/feed/ -->
    <!-- BDPRSS2::update failed to parse http://www.nmindplus.com/feed/ -->

    So I looked at the code. That first line happens when BDP tries to retrieve the URI using file_get_contents(), a standard PHP function. However, there’s a security setting related to this in the PHP.INI file. In order for this sort of thing to work, PHP must have the allow_url_fopen flag set to true.

    So if you run your own server, you may want to check that in the PHP.INI file. If you’re hosted, you may want to ask your host about it.
