A place to discuss Wordpress.com

I'm with Wordpress, and I like the fact that they suggest quite a number of tags, and I get to choose the ones I prefer. Helpful service, and easily added.

Hi, I need to point out that, although I've done several reviews of books on my blog, it's primarily a general interest blog. Sorry for the confusion!

[Michael]

That's alright, my blog too focuses on some other topics but I feel they compliment each other

[Margaret]

Thanks, that's great!
Just posted something on theme of 'what books really impressed you, and why', if anyone's interested. I hope it's okay to give my blog name, margaretlynettesharp.

Not a problem. You should link it and add it to your goodreads profile

[Margaret]

I'm not very good on the computer and don't know how to link it. Thanks for the tip about adding it to my profile, I can do that now.

I have only used Wordpress and I think its pretty great :) Not very confusing and very easy to navigate

[Michael]

I love wordpress.com but I think I prefer self hosted

[Sherri]

Well I would go self hosted but I have no money to be able to do that with :P

[Kate]

I'm too much of a flake to go self-hosted. My blog is only two weeks old and I have a habit of quitting things. So I'm giving myself six months and if I'm still blogging then - I think I'll go to self hosted.

I do like wordpress.com.
I think it's a lot more user-friendly than blogger. I am someone who lacks html skills and I feel that wordpress gives me a more professional finish than blogger.

[Sherri]

I agree Kate, my mom has a blogger so she tried showing me around and all I got out of it was confusion, not the case with wordpress though

[Raelke]

I'm wondering if someone can help me. I use wordpress, but I recently noticed that when I comment on someone else's blog, if someone then clicks on my name it links to a page which says 'adeleonthursdays' no longer exists. However, that is an old blog of mine which I deleted, not my current blog. I am not sure how to fix the problem- there is no trace of my old blog anywhere on my dashboard.

Hi Raelke

WP links to gravatar for commenting so you need to go to Dashboard>My profile and update your gravatar profile with the new blog link. (click on edit my profile at gravatar)

Another option, when you comment on another WP blog your id should come up underneath along with -You are commenting using your WordPress.com account. ( Log Out / Change )
Choose Change and put in the details for your new blog

Hope that helps

[Raelke]

Thanks so much! All fixed.
