 * I just upgraded to 2.8 and am trying to add the RSS Widget to my sidebar. I validated
   the feed and it seems to be okay. When I input the feed url and click save, it
   just sits there and grinds away. It does not give any kind of error message, 
   it just doesn’t save the info.

 * Have you tried:
 * – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works,
   re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
 * – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-related problems.

 * I am having exactly the same problem. Feed widget circle just spins but doesn’t
   save. Tried several working feeds.
 * I can save the widget with text title in, but not once the feed is added.
 * Anyone found a solution?
