widgets and rss feeds
Jan 26 2012, 11:48 AM EST
I have had a wetpaint for 2 years now, but the widgets and rss feeds no longer work. I have checked and re-checked them, but wetpaint doesn't "support" them anymore. They are major Education website connections, so it isn't that they are something out of the norm. Sites like eSchoolNews and National School Board Association, for example, are no longer supported or "verifiable." Help, please!
Do you find this valuable?

2. RE: widgets and rss feeds

The issues you brought to this thread, took me a bit of time, registering with the two sites, capturing the codes and placing them on my wiki. Here are the results that I have found:National School Board News I was able to put the School Board News RSS feed onto my wiki without any issues eSchool News Their widgets were created on WidgetBox. Each of the three widgets Technology, TopNews and Funding widget have a message on eSchools site stating "The feed type is not supported and to Try using RSS or ATOM" I attempted to place the flash code widget on my wiki using the Other Widget Tool and received the same alert. This is not a Wetpaint issue. I could not get the RSS feed URLs from eSchool News to work using Wetpaint's RSS feed widget because they would not validate. You may try to validate the RSS feed addresses, you are trying to use on Wetpaint's RSS Feed widget at this address http://feedvalidator.org/ If they do not validate, you will have to contact eSchoolNews for working addresses for their various feeds.
