My status “minifeed” on my sidebar kept duplicating itself. I’d get one line with my status that links to my Facebook account, then right underneath I’d get a second line of the same status. Weird.
I did some Google searching and came up empty handed. Since I couldn’t find the cause of the duplicate feed status, I decided to work around it with good ol’ CSS.
If your Facebook status feed shows up twice just add this bit of code to your blog’s theme style.css:
span.headline {display: none;}
That’s it! This actually worked out better than the original since my status no longer links away from my blog. I just want the text to show up – I don’t care if anyone visits my Facebook page.
Hey, I don't want this picture. What gives?

Thank you!
I had no idea what the hell was going on. This seems to have gotten rid of my name before every post too, which drove me nuts. I never start a sentence with my name!
I know! This glitch turned out awesome!
that actually blocks my feed completely?
heres my css for the feed
#feedburner {
display: block;
margin-top: -45px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
width:1024px;
height: 90px;
padding-left: -100px;
padding-right: -100px;
}
#creditfooter, span.headline {
display: none;
}
#feedburner ul {
list-style-type: none;
text-align: center;
}
#feedburner a {
color: #000;
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
when i remove the span.headline line for the text the post reappears
thanks again any help is much appreciated
Ryan… I don’t know. I’d have to take a look at my CSS to see what’s different. I don’t style anything with the #feedburner though. What happens when you remove all the styling for the #feedburner element and leave the span.headline?
Yeah i’ve looked at you css via firebug for firefox and it has the line of code but completely blocks my feed very odd indeed –
this is what you and i both have
#creditfooter, span.headline {
display: none;
}
i just want that link to the link to fb on the feed to go away
