I'm trying to use blog object on a separate blog page in my website to also link to the home page via News Feed ticker (showing individual article headlines). This gives the option to click on a headline to be taken to the blog page for full article. As its an author website I then would want to link blog to external sites such as Goodreads and Amazon.

The news read ticker - I have selected RSS feed and HTTP GET request. In the blog I have selected generate the RSS feed using the website url.

This is not working. The news ticker just shows a flashing circle, so I'm guessing its the url of the RSS feed that might be causing this.

I have read the help, but cannot see what I have missed. I'm not a programmer & self taught. Is there something obvious I have missed? If so, would appreciate advice to resolve.

Thank you

Did you upload all files?
If 'GET' does not work then did you also try the other data fetch options?
What is the error?

Hi, yes uploaded all the files. Tried the 3 options and still no joy.

Error on published website for news ticker is a flashing circle. Its a white solid circle with grey/silver spokes (sun like) with the spokes/lines flashing to black as it moves around the circle.

What is the URL of the page?

Hi, URL is: https://www.nitaround.com/

(news ticker at bottom of page)

Blog object is on: https://www.nitaround.com/blog.html

Thank you

I'm sorry, but the URL of the RSS feed is not correct.

I think it should be:
./Blog1.xml
or
https://www.nitaround.com/Blog1.xml

Thank you, but still cannot get this to work. Must be missing something obvious.

Did you try all data fetch options?

Please try this first:
./Blog1.xml

Hi, tried this and all fetch options. Still will not work.

Tried to identify error via feed validation service wc3, which states feed not valid and it suggests:
line 14 - link missing
line 18 - item should contain a quid element
line 19 missing atom: link with rel="self"

When published on the blog page the rss button shows these various lines but I could not find how to alter on blog object or html code to check for these errors.

I do not think that is the reason.

Can you please publish the page with the correct settings, so I can see the error message?

URL : /Blog1.xml
(note: this is case sensitive)

Data retrieval: Load data through proxy.

Thank you so much. It works and with an external feed to Goodreads (reader site) as well.

My user error re case sensitive. The suggested /Blog1 works.

Thank you for your patience as I'm still learning.
