@Mecu: We did have a problem earlier (forgot who’s blog it was), where their ISP’s firewall was configured so not let their website access feeds from the outside world.
Could this be the case for you?
Maybe I need to add a diagnostic to the plugin …
Description
The EntreDroppers plugin give you the ability to show the last few people who dropped their Entrecard on your blog. It is a widget you can easily add to your sidebar and uses information from Entrecard’s website
Usage
The plugin can be used in one of two ways:If you are using widgets, just drag the widget onto the area of the page where you want it to appear.If you aren’s using widget, add the code below to your sidebar template where you would like the button to appear.
Installation
1. Download the plugin file, unzip and place it in your plugin folder.
This makes the plugin available to WordPress and it should now appear in your Plugin folder.
2. Activate the plugin
This “starts up” the plugin, making it available to your presentation files (you know, the ones that make up your theme). At this point, the plugin is active, but WordPress doesn’t know where it should be displaying your Entrecard Droppers
3a. The plugin is widget-aware and will appear in your widget list. Go to your widget screen and add EntreDroppers to the sidebar.
3b. Alternatively, if you don’t use widgets, add this snippet to the sidebar file in your theme:
<?php entredroppers(); ?>
This tells WordPress where to put the widget.
4. Configure the widget
The plugin can be configured both from the Settings pane or from the widget control area, by clicking “Edit” on the widget. Most of the options are self-explanatory, but you will be needing the EntreCard Latest Droppers RSS feed to power the widget. You can get this from your EntreCard dashboard (top right hand corner) as shown in the picture below:

History
v1.0: Base release. Works as per spec.

It doesn’t show the drops I’ve had. The RSS url is correct and it shows up on the page, but it doesn’t process the RSS feed correctly. I’m on GoDaddy shared linux, so id there something like CURL or FOPEN that you’re using the GoDaddy might not enable/allow?

@FruityOaty: New version out, that allows you to tag Droppers as NoDollow.
Enjoy

@Len: Yup, it’s on the request list, just after a nofollow option for the links

Entrecard seems to be having a problem right now listing the same cards multiple times in a row. This results in the same link showing four, six or eight times in a row in my list of recent drops. Is there a way for the plugin to recognize and reject duplicate listings?
Great plugin, by the way. I love it. Thanks!
