    I recently tried adding several RSS feeds with icons to my site’s sidebar at https://www.yrfriendmatthew.com, based on the code below:

    <div id="sidebar">
    		<ul>
    
    			<li>
    				<b>Return to <a href="https://www.mishkanyc.com/">MishkaNYC.com</a></b>
    			</li>
    
    			<li>
    			<table width="190" height="30" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
    
          	<tr>
          		<td><a href="https://feeds.feedburner.com/mishkabloglin"><img src="/images/MediaIconsBloglin_01.png" width="31" border="0" height="30" alt="" /></a></td>
          		<td><a target="_blank" href="https://www.myspace.com/mishkanyc"><img src="/images/MediaIconsBloglin_02.png" width="33" border="0" height="30" alt="" /></a></td>
          		<td><a target="_blank" href="https://www.facebook.com/people/Mishka-Nyc/551168110"><img src="/images/MediaIconsBloglin_03.png" width="32" border="0" height="30" alt="" /></a></td>
          		<td><a target="_blank" href="https://www.twitter.com/mishkanyc"><img src="/images/MediaIconsBloglin_04.png" width="34" border="0" height="30" alt="" /></a></td>
          		<td><a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/MishkaNYC"><img src="/images/MediaIconsBloglin_05.png" width="31" border="0" height="30" alt="" /></a></td>
          		<td><a target="_blank" href="https://www.imeem.com/people/RG2NnlW"><img src="/images/MediaIconsBloglin_06.png" width="29" border="0" height="30" alt="" /></a></td>
          	</tr>
          </table>
    
    			</li>

    I placed the code in my sidebar.php as shown below (the full php):

    <?php
    /**
     * @package WordPress
     * @subpackage Default_Theme
     */
    ?>
    	<div id="sidebar" role="complementary">
    		<ul>
    			<?php 	/* Widgetized sidebar, if you have the plugin installed. */
    					if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?>
    
    	<li>
    
    <table width="190" height="30" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
    
          	<tr>
    
    <td><a href="feed:<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>"><img src="/images/RSS.png" width="31" border="0" height="30" alt="" /></a></td>
    
    <td><a target="_blank" href="https://www.myspace.com/mishkanyc"><img src="/images/myspace.png" width="33" border="0" height="30" alt="" /></a></td>

          	</tr>
    
          </table>
    			</li>
    
    <li>
    				<?php get_search_form(); ?>
    			</li>
    
    			<!-- Author information is disabled per default. Uncomment and fill in your details if you want to use it.

    			<?php if ( is_404() || is_category() || is_day() || is_month() ||

    		<?php }?>
    		</ul>
    		<ul role="navigation">
    			<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=<h2>Pages</h2>' ); ?>
    
    			<li><h2>Archives</h2>
    				<ul>

    				</li>
    			<?php } ?>
    
    			<?php endif; ?>
    		</ul>
    	</div>

    The icons and links aren’t showing up, but there appears to be a white space in the sidebar above the ‘search’ bar where it should be. Do I need to put additional coding in the CSS pointing to the RSS feeds, or in another php? I am not sure why nothing, not even a broken image link, would show up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
