Re: Popular Posts Widget - What are the requirements for an image to be used

Hi Jasline

As Ben mentioned above , its happening because of the change in the URL 
format of the Flickr images. There is a simple solution to this problem 
For example your 
post http://www.foodiebaker.com/2013/07/tuscan-baked-eggs.html

In this the first image URL 
is http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3700/9253837999_b8fb20452f_o.jpg 

You will just have to go to the Post tab in the Blogger Dashboard and Edit 
this post. Now once the Post Editor is opened switch to the HTML mode 
(Normally we are in the Compose Mode) , you will see some HTML like 

<img alt="Tuscan Baked Eggs" src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3700/9253837999_b8fb20452f_o.jpg" 
width="640" /><br />
Now change it to 

<img alt="Tuscan Baked Eggs" src="http://farm4.static.
flickr.com/3700/9253837999_682dd1c0df_b.jpg" width="640" /><br />

As highlighted , I have added a dot ( . ) between static & flickr also I 
have used the Large version of the image rather the Original one  , the 
image will remain the same

**The reason for using the Large version was that Original sized image was 
not being picked by the Popular post widget.*

Update the Post and check the Popular Post widget , it should successfully 
display the thumbnail 

I have made a demo blog , where I have used the above image and a Popular 
Post widget , and this solution is working -- check it here

As you have only five posts in the Popular Posts widget , I went ahead and 
searched the URL's for the remaining 4 ones

Teriyaki Chicken

THB #25: Italian Cheese and Herb Pinwheels

Mustard Pork Chops (Nigella) 
--- http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3807/9514685371_62e08c1bec_b.jpg

You will just need to replace these URL's and thumbnails should appear in 
your Popular Post Widget

Hope this helps
