Wordpress RSS Widget Error
This is one of those posts that I hope ends up in search engines so that somebody will find it and get the answer that I had trouble finding.
I wanted to have my Facebook status appear on my blog by using the Wordpress RSS widget. I went to Facebook and found the RSS feed for my status updates, but when I put that URL in the RSS widget, it never showed on the blog. When I went back into the widget’s properties, it said that it “could not find an RSS or ATOM feed at that URL”
After tinkering with it a bit, I went to feedvalidator.org to see if something really was wrong with the feed. Turns out that it wasn’t validating. So I logged into feedburner, burned a new feed using the Facebook status update RSS URL, and now it works.

Latin to you, perhaps. But one day somebody’s gonna find this online and it’ll save them much headache.
You’ll see.
