My “RECENT ON RATIONALITY BLOGS” section on the right sidebar is blank.
If this isn’t just me, and remains this way for long, I predict LW traffic will drop markedly as I primarily use LW habitually as a way to access SSC, and I’d bet my experience is not unique in this way.
It looks that way to me as well, and I don’t think that should be the case. I’ll investigate what’s up.
On an initial pass, the code hasn’t been updated in a month, so I doubt that’s a cause. If you look at the list of feedbox urls here, two of them seem like they’re not working (the Givewell one and the CFAR one).
It’s not clear to me yet how Google’s feed object made here works; it looks like we feed it a url, then try to load it in a way that handles errors. But if it checks the URL ahead of the load, that might error out in a way that breaks the feedbox.

Both NoScript, and Disconnect blockers, block those.
I still have to whitelist Vigilink every time i come here, and i can’t see lots of features and editing handles if i haven’t gone to Reddit and whitelisted it before visiting here....

So, we use google.feeds.Feed(url) to manage this. If you go to the docs page for that, you find:
