Can I aggregate more than 1 Facebook Activity Feed in a single widget?<br /> No, Facebook is clear that multiple activiy feeds are not available at this time . 2. Why is there a delay in displaying the widget?<br />Keep in mind that the wi dget is an iframe that reads data from Facebook's servers. So if their activity feed servers are slow, then you will notice a latency. 3. How do I get the popup for the color selector to close?<br />Just tab or mov e your cursor to another field, it'll close on its own. == Screenshots == 1. Screenshot of the widget setup screen. 2.
