How to Force Feed to AUTOMATICALLY Load on Blog List

 For quite a while I've seen several blogs that remained just at the VERY bottom of My Blog List, seen on the right sideline of my blog.
What is a blog feed?
It is a blog feed format that shows us the latest updates from blogs we follow on our side line.
Such links are also great for promoting your own web presence!
BUT—how to get them to work so they DO UPDATE!
At the way bottom of My Blog List there remained several blogs that NEVER DID UPDATE TO THEIR NEWEST POST...
Their Blog Feed remained STAGNANT
Above is an example of how an updated blog feed looks like!
Make sure that you marked to have them sorted by the Most recently updated.
With the Icon—Title—Thumbnail (Blogger at present is not allowing it to show up at ANY BLOG... 😡—Date of last update!
First—you open the stagnant blog feed in order to have their home blog link at hand!
You need to do that because next we go in to Configure Blog List and Delete the stagnant blog feed.
Click on SAVE!
Scroll all the way to the very bottom of your Configure Blog List and click on ADD A NEW ITEM
You now add the removed blog but this time we do it correctly!
By clicking on CONTINUE
DON'T ADD Blog name!!!
After we click on CONTINUE we read:
Feed URL found
We mark Use feed URL and its title and click OK
I've figured out that you cannot click SAVE without first highlighting the Blog URL
Only then the SAVE button becomes clickable.
DONE!
Those that don't yet have a Blog List added, go to Layout
Once inside Layout click on Add a Gadget and select Blog List... 😏

Hoping this will help some of you for updating Blog List on the side bar.

      Dearest Martha Jane,
      Neither did I but just by accident figured this out and immediately did create screenshots and wrote this post.

    wir haben den ersten Schnee und die Vögel sind fleißig am Futterhaus... freue mich darüber, sie so schön aus der Nähe sehen zu können :-)))
    Viele Grüße von Viola. Ich wünsche Euch eine wunderschöne Woche.

    I don’t have a blog list on my blog. I just never got around to it. For years, January was always my blog cleanup month. Change the theme etc. I’ll have to consider a blog list.

    Hi, Mariette and Pieter!
    I have some blogs in my blog list that are stagnant and the feeds don't update. Now I can do this. THANK YOU!!!
    I always had to open them to see if they were updated, and this way it's a lot easier!
    :)

      Dearest Paula,
      Yeah, WHY did I not stumble on this 'trick' sooner?!
      But so glad for having solved an otherwise tedious search to check and see IF they still publish any posts.
      Hugs,
      Mariette

    It has only happened to me twice since 2008. I spent hours sweating over the problem and resolved nothing, so I just left them down the bottom. MAYBE I will try again now, thank you.

      Dearest Hels,
      Often we look for a solution—the hard way.
      Did discover this just by accident, by hovering my cursor over the link...
      Glad I captured the screenshots right away and now know.
      Hugs,
