jQuery News Feed Integration on index.php

I’m attempting to integrate So So Social (https://johnpatrickgiven.com/jquery/soSoSocial/) which uses jQuery and YQL. I have all my javascript files in an includes directory, the javascripts are on my header.php file and a css div-id is being used to call the activity feed to feature.php, a homepage specific featured image and sidebar location.

The theme is ‘Boast’ from Woo Themes, but has been hacked up pretty good to customize.

I have an index.html page with a test/sample of the activity feed. You can see it here: https://www.speakerbosma.com/wp-content/themes/bosmaweb/soso/index.html

However, when I attempt to place that same div-id on my feature.php (which is called by index.php, which is in the same directory as index.html), all I get is the Alt tag on the Ajax.gif….

I’m new to customizing jquery and using it in WordPress. Any ideas? Site homepage is https://www.speakerbosma.com
