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

Hi Prayag,

I seem to be having the same problem as Jasline. I tried changing the the 
characters as you mentioned but am still having trouble with my flickr 
photos showing up on popular posts widget. Everyday Nourish Bowl<http://thesimpleveganista.blogspot.com/2014/04/everyday-nourish-bowl.html> is 
the one I'm currently having trouble with. I'd like to switch over to using 
Flickr exclusively for uploads and this is the first one of my newer posts 
that have made it to the popular post widget to date. Any help would much 
appreciated! Thank you :)
