 * Anyone about the RSS widget? First, is there a way to not show any posts with
   the RSS widget? The drop down, “How many items would you like to display?” doesn’t
   offer a “zero”.
 * Also, I entered my RSS Feed from Feedburner in the top of the widget, “Enter 
   the RSS feed URL here:” but the link keeps going to the blog page instead of 
   the feedburner sign up page.

 * Why would you want to add an RSS widget to your site and then not show anything?

 * Of course not. I just want the main one to show. What’s happening is it shows
   the name of the blog and then the “1” adds the first post. And, to top that off,
   none of the links even work even though I added the feedburner link into the 
   right place.

 * What “main one”? Yours? If so, **don’t** use the RSS widget to pull your own 
   feed into your site. It will severely impact on site performance.

 * I’m confused…..I’m trying to use it to get people to sign up for RSS and RSS 
   via email with Feedburner account.

 * Just use a message . . . Sign up for RSS Email (or whatever) and your Feedburner
   link.

   > >Subscribe to Your Blog by Email</a>`

 * You can’t use the RSS Widget for your Feedburner url. It’s meant for displaying
   RSS feeds from **other** sites. Feedburner can provide you with markup for a 
   signup form for your feed that you can add to your site via the Text Widget.

 * Yeah, that’s what I did, kmessinger. Just wanted to use the RSS icon and had 
   some problems but I’ll keep working on it.
 * Thanks Esmi. I didn’t realize that!!

 * Oh….also, Esmi, I couldn’t find the feedburner code for the RSS Reader in my 
   account. Only for the email. I’ll look again.
