 Putting up a widget loading '''local''' rss feed (via FQDN, not localhost
 ofc).
 For some reason my RSS is not available (unrelated), so it redirects to a
 404 page when trying to access the feed.
 On the 404 page, the same widget is displayed again, trying to load the
 '''same''' RSS.
 This generates an infinite loop.

 Crashed my server for 2 days over and over again until I found out.

 Should add a check whether already tried to load the feed and maybe a
 Timeout. Or even better, use Javascript RSS processing instead of
 serverside.
