VERSIONS:I am using Feed Genie v1.0.3 PHP, it is running on Dreamweaver CS5, Windows 7 Pro SP1, 8GB memory with all the updates.
I have viewed many videos and read the manual, but I do not see the "feed", I see Server Variables.
See the manual: 'FeedGenieASP.pdf' page 31, I do not see that. All works perfect per the manual up to page 30.
I see my files listed just like page 28, I continue with the Insert/Image, click on 'Data sources', but that is where it all is different.
I see "server variable", there is no feed listed.
I am pretty sure that I had this working months ago, and remember finding something while searching that solved this, but now that Iwww.gonexc.com/feedgenie1.php am trying to do it for a customer, I can not get past this point.
Yes, I have spent hours viewing every video I could find to see how to work this out.
This link shows the view I have:

Please point me in the right direction.

Can't believe this. OK, after hours of trying to get Feed Genie to work on my Google Apps account Picasa, I thought that I would try my regular gmail account Picasa.
Feed Genie setup in my regular gmail WORKED as advertised. Easy, step by step as the instructions showed. This time the RSS feed data showed up in the Select Image Source, Data sources. Before, I only could see "Server Variables" on the list.
Then I went to my Google Apps Picasa account and started documenting each step to DMXzone to show the problem.
IT WORKS TOO. I know that I had followed each step many, many times. Deleted everything, cleared my cache, cookies, and temp files (something I always do when testing pages) and started over many times, so as far as I know, nothing changed. I tried for 2 days. Now it works great.
Why try over? When Teodor asked to send my web pages for review, I then thought that "Teodor thinks this is my issue, not a bug", so I should document what I did and while I do it, go check my work again.
I do NOT know what was wrong. But, now I can get my customers to use Picasa Albums, link to them and stop them asking me to change photos "right away", and then not expect to pay me for "just updating a photo"
