Adding author's blog

[Madeleine]

I can't figure out exactly how to add the feed of an author's blog. Does anyone have some tips?

Hi Madeline,

to add the feed of an author's blog, you can simply put the url.

on page of author, you will see that option on right side, under the author's book list.

hope it works.

Thanks!

Is there a way to allow one blog to be shared by two authors?

I don't think there's any reason you couldn't enter the identical feed into two author profiles.

It's telling me that the feed's already taken, but it looks like Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl successfully share a blog on Goodreads...

One imported the RSS feed for the blog and one the Atom feed. Is that an option in your case?

Maybe. Honestly, I'm quite new to this. How would I do that? (Thanks to everyone.)

I'm trying to add a blog to an author profile, but when I click the Add a Blog link, I get redirected to the Goodreads authors page and a pink message box saying "You must specify an author."

The author in question is dead, but a blog about his work is run by his son. Is the author's residence in the afterlife the problem with adding the blog feed?

Looks like a bug - I tried doing some one earlier (not dead)you can report it in feed back

I'm having an issue with this as well. My external blog won't update on the goodread's one anymore. I tried to re-enter the url manually, but nothing is happening. What can i do?

Best to report it in the Feedback group as a bug / not working

Kim, I see a blog post imported from today. Is there a more recent one?

Posts don't import instantly; the process that brings them in runs every few hours, I think.
