Okay, well….it’s probably time I get to bed since I’m writing before thinking. I cleared my cache folks and it updated.

Feeling awfully ridiculous over here. I’m still confused about that parsing error though.

Ahh well. I’ll get it together eventually. Thanks for everything (again!) night!

Well this is what it says on my xml page:

XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
Location: https://www.frecsandspecs.com/sarahs_slideshow.xml
Line Number 7, Column 97: <outline xmlUrl=”https://www.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?id=99729546@N00&format=rss_200&#8243; />
————————————————————————————————–

I’m sure I’m still not doing something right. In time it will come together I suppose.

Now I have an issue where I updated my Flickr pics and it is not updating in my slideshow. Perhaps it has something to do with that absolute path thing? Or it has something to do with this…..my XML file
https://www.frecsandspecs.com/sarahs_slideshow.xml

It says I have a parsing error. It’s been like this for a while and it has still been working, so I’m confused. It must have to do with the path or something ehh?

I added a picture just the other day and it is up there, so it WAS working yesterday. In terms of updating.

Perhaps there is a lag between updating and the feed? Any thoughts guys?

Okay, I got it working FINALLY!

It really only took me two minutes as I just now got back around to messing with the slideshow. I realize now what the problem was. Thank you for making me realize I had the Rich Text Editor on. After I turned it off and cut and paste the code it worked.

I’m so happy it’s working ?? YAY!! Thank you geoffe and Ryanfitzer!!

Okay, I’m going to look into all of these things. Thanks for replying you guys! I really appreciate it. I DO have Flash and so I should be able to change the appropriate paths etc.

I may not get this up tonight, but I’ll def let you know the outcome. Especially since I think it is important to document so others who run across a similar issue may have something to refer to when troubleshooting.

Wish me luck!

Hmm thanks. I read about the absolute and relative paths. I thought I had made mine absolute. Perhaps I need to go back and read some more to see where I went wrong. The thing with this kind of stuff is it is sooooo time consuming. I spent all day yesteday trying to figure it out even trying to e-mail someone who wrote on here a year ago with the same issue. He hasn’t gotten back to me as of yet. *Sigh*

Thanks! I’m going to look back at my paths,etc. If I get it going I’ll let you all know. Otherwise….consider me still clueless.

Well, I put the code in that I thought was suppose to get it up and running. I fixed one of the tags that made the code visible, but it isn’t showing anything.

No slideshow.

Please someone help me get this thing going on my site instead of only on my server.

Thanks ahead of time folks!

I just got started this wordpress blog a few weeks ago and used whatever came with 2.0. I didn’t even download or activate any plugins except for statcounter and I even tried disabling that to see if it was the problem. It wasn’t. I’m VERY frustrasted and was even contemplating going to moveable type but now I can’t even export my entries out. I tried dowloading a plugin and it won’t work. I tried both the 2.0 version and the updated version. Neither will work. Now I’m stuck with this dysfuncional blog and will lose everything if I reinstall a new version of wordpress. I tried switching themes and the “bolding and font” issues still persist. I also have pictures that I posted going outside of the designated frame in the browser Safari. If you click on my blog https://frecsandspecs.com you will see people have left comments in regard to the way my blog is displaying on their computer/browser.
I just don’t know what to do since I cannot fix the problems nor can I export. I’m so stuck and frustrated. Please someone HELP!!!!

Actually, I have only been using the internal wordpress editor (any known issues with this?). I have occasionally used the html button to include code, but that’s about it. Additionally, I have noticed a difference in the way my photos are displayed in both Firefox and Safari. Firefox shrinks the pictures to fit in the frame and Safari allows them to go outside the frame running into my sidebar.

Try to view it in multiple browsers to see the font issue as well as the photo.

Anyone know what’s going on and how I might resolve these issues.

Thanks ahead of time!
