Mae East | 5 comments Hello!
I hope this is the best place to ask this question. For some reason, my most recent post from my blog is not showing up on Goodreads. It has been over ten days and still nothing. In the past they have always shown up a few hours after posting to my blog but nothing is coming through on this end. Has something changed in this regard? Do blog post no longer automatically show to an author's profile page? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Mae East

Jim Vuksic Mae,
The root cause may merely be an isolated case of a technical snafu or human error.
Based upon personal experience, all 142 posts of my blog, including the most recent on January 14, have appeared instantaneously upon being published.
You may want to try posting yours again.

Mae East | 5 comments Hi Jim,
I will do exactly that. I hope that's all there is to it. :-) Thank you for your help!
Mae

Ian Bott (iansbott) | 22 comments I don't know if it's an isolated case. I've noticed my recent blog posts haven't appeared either. The last one showing is from 2 weeks ago. There are now 2 posts since that have not popped up.

I've had my blog linked to GR for years now, with nearly 200 posts in that time. They have always taken a day or so to appear but have always done so reliably in that kind of timeframe. I was wondering if it was simply a glitch on my post last weekend, but sounds like it's not just me.

BTW - I assume you're talking about a blog external to GR that you've pointed to from your profile, as opposed to blogging directly on the GR site?

Mae East | 5 comments Hi Ian,
Yes, it's my blog from my personal site that's not showing on my GR page. I reposted as suggested and it is already on Amazon but still not here. I know it takes a while before it shows up on GR so it will probably be tomorrow before I will be able to tell if reposting was the fix or not. I will be sure to update either way. If it's happening to the both of us, I wonder if there's more?? Sounds like it could be a technical glitch with GR.

Ian Bott (iansbott) | 22 comments Hi Mae, my money's on it being at the GR end, because it's not just one person and we're using different platforms. I popped over to your blog for a look-see, and you use WordPress. My blog is hosted on Blogger. Nothing in common there so unlikely they are both the problem.


message 7: by Mae (new)

Mae East | 5 comments That's good to know, Ian. Thanks for checking! I don't know if this post is enough to let GR know there is a problem so I'll check into it further. Hopefully someone can get it fixed soon.

Jaclyn (jaclyn_w) | 417 comments Mae, I just resynced your blog. Please let me know if it doesn't appear correctly after a couple of days.

Mae East | 5 comments Hi Jaclyn,
The re-syncing worked! In the past, the posts have always just shown up so this is something I'll know to do if it happens again. Thank you!!

James Best | 36 comments I have a blog on WordPress.com that I have tried to send to my Goodreads Author Page with no luck. Would someone be so kind to help me out with this situation.

Jaclyn (jaclyn_w) | 417 comments I'm glad that helped, Mae!

Denise, do you have a WordPress blog? Unfortunately, there are problems when trying to import these because of the way WordPress handles rss feeds.

James, the above also applies to you, but I'd be happy to try and get your blog to import. Can you supply me with the url?


message 12: by James (new)

James Best | 36 comments Yes, here is my URL : Http:www.Myplace3187.WordPress.com

I look forward to having my blog show on my Goodreads Page !!

Thank you very much !

Jaclyn (jaclyn_w) | 417 comments James, I've imported your blog and you can see this here.


message 14: by James (new)

Jaclyn (jaclyn_w) | 417 comments You're welcome, James!

It seems we were experiencing an issue with blog imports, which should now be fixed. 😊
