Problem using a different blog in the Blog Reader App

Hi all, I have looked through questions on here and did my own research, and I honestly can't figure this out. I'm trying to use a link other than the Treehouse blog, I have done everything correctly because when I use this: URL blogFeedUrl = new URL("http://blog.teamtreehouse.com/api/get_recent_summary/?count =" + NUMBER_OF_POSTS);

And run it, it works fine, I see all the blog posts, same as in the videos.

When I use a different link, I get the "Nothing to Display!" message.

If anyone could help me with this, I'd really appreciate it!

The site I am trying to use is: http://www.bigwheelbrigade.com/posts

Thanks in advance!!

Does the link that you want to use return a JSON object? If so, does that object also contain the same structure and format of key names and values?
