Adding a Blog to an Author

[Jen]

I found a Blog for Bethenny Frankel, but it gives me an error message when I try to add the Rss feed.

Can anyone add the blog?

[Ralph Gallagher]

I tried and it gave me an error as well

[Louise]

I'll take a look at this. Thanks for bringing it up, Jen.

Edit: I've fixed the problem and it should go away in the next release, which will probably happen this afternoon.

[Jen]

okay thanks!

[Louise]

The fix should be live now.

The author above has already been fixed, and the two I was having trouble with are both working now. Thanks, Louise!

I've tried adding a blog for this author but I can't find the icon to add the rss feed.

this is the author's GR page:

and this the blog rss:

thanks.

[Elizabeth]

On this author I can't even find the subheading for blog to add the feed.

Those are GoodReads authors.

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I think that in this case, only the author himself can make the change.

[Elizabeth]

If only a GR author can make the changes then I'll let Lucy and Ava know. Thanks.

Yes, once a profile has been claimed only the author can add their own blog. Some authors prefer not to, so we leave the choice up to them.

I'm trying to add a blog to Robin LaFevers but it says it's been already claimed by another author. I've checked and there's only one other author with that name and they aren't using her blog. Any ideas?

[Melody]

R.L. LaFevers is a claimed profile for this author. And there is a blog attached to that profile.

That would explain it! Apparently there are two listings for her, one under R.L. LaFevers and one under Robin LaFevers.
