The list of blogs I read in the sidebar is supposed to work on the same principle -- sorting the blogs according to most recent update and including information about the latest post. This seems to work fairly well, with some exceptions. Francis Berger's and WanderingGondola's blogs appear not to have usable feeds, and so they're unfortunately permanently at the bottom of the list, even though Frank at least posts pretty frequently.
Three other blogs -- Leo's, my brother Luther's, and Richard Arrowsmith's -- have a more puzzling situation: their feeds appear to have arbitrarily stopped updating at some point. It says Leo's last post was a month ago, Luther's was 4 months ago, and Richard's was 11 years ago, even though all three of them have continued to post after those respective points in time. If any of my more tech-inclined readers have any idea what might be causing this or how it might be rectified, do leave a comment.

I don't know what's up with my feed. Everything got messed up after I decided against renewing my domain. I'll see if I can fix the feed.
If you link directly to the feed URL (https://francis-berger.weebly.com/4/feed) it should work
Dunno about the blogs of Leo or your brother -- can only guess there's some odd breakage or the feeds aren't automated -- but the subscribe link at the bottom of Arrowsmith's page does include his most recent post.
Yeah, I don't have a feed yet. Need to tinker with TiddlyWiki's implementations, and it seems better to leave that until after migration (I've been offered some dedicated server space; the move will be slow, it's unfamiliar tech-territory for me). I'm wondering if your sidebar gadget tries fetching stuff anyway. Does it refresh on an interval? The view count in my control panel has been jumping by roughly ten per day for a while now, which seems a bit much. Details aren't given so I have no idea who or what is looking.
Frank’s feed is working now. Thanks.
The subscribe link from Arrowsmith is what I’m using. No clue why it’s 11 years behind the times.
WG, I don’t know how the sidebar gadget works. It’s provided by Blogger, and I haven’t looked under the hood.
Much appreciated David and Wm!
