Normally, Adobe Flash will prevent the wall from loading the RSS feed from your website. To allow the application to load your feed, you will need to place a crossdomain.xml file at the root of your website (You will find this file in Phoca Gallery installation ZIP package: ZIP Package/other/cooliris/crossdomain.xml)
