It is true for me! I was editing the text widgit on the left of my blog and clicked on almost every post in my blog today. The only one the new feature showed in was the post I made today. And that disappeared for a while this evening. Well, my time I guess it's past midnight...

I would be interested in having WP suggest to me - not to my readers - other blogs and/or posts plowing the same fields. If I found them interesting, I could add them to my blogroll, or link to them from my own posts.

The "possibly related links" will only show up on new posts that you made since this new feature was added. Not on old posts.

I have that feature listed under design, but I haven't seen any "possibly related links" listed for any of my posts. Is that unusual?

You can turn it off for now at least.

Also, you can turn off the annoying "Enable Snap Shots on this blog" by removing the check-mark under the "extras" menu. You can also turn it off in blogs you visit by clicking on the tiny little gear-like icon. I think you can even turn it off for all blogs you visit.

Who knows how many other people requested it by contacting support? (the preferred way) That's what this is, Sphere, albeit without an icon giving readers the option of clicking it or not. I really don't know if that's possible on a mu platform.

But my point is..I don't think wordpress's responses to requests for enhancements...whether they are added or not...will ever be appropriate for every blogger. Nature of the beast.

I found it, but tried to reply to quickly here and wordpress blocked me out for a little bit or something.

it does look like either we promote trash like links to Michelle Malkin, or we lose out on the thing that made wordpress a leading blog platform.

and it really was cute to deal with the launch of this new "feature" on a weekend when the wordpress support is closed.

we already host so much advertising with the Snap Preview feature, it really is too bad that we now need to either give up autonomy over our writing and host racist and offensive content or become relatively invisible to the internet.

I suppose if WordPress had figured out a way to make it a choice that didn't involve radical right wing propaganda, it would have been easier to agree to use and test this new feature.

but linking to Malkin, that just makes it impossible. Ultimately, we write to be read, and if WordPress wants to block that feature from its blogs, it does seem that if anyone actually wants to write, we'll have to find a platform that doesn't make us agree to support ugly and hateful propaganda in exchange for the privilege.

there's money, and then there is what is ultimately more valuable than money, I suppose.

MS word will cause you problems as it creates really bizarre code that will cause you problems ( http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/11/09/why-not-to-use-word/ ). Copying from the web can (most likely will) bring in code that will cause issues as well.

What you need to do is set your blog to display only one post per page (options > reading) and then go through your posts one at a time to see which is causing the issues. It may be more than one. The validator is showing two open div tags and two open paragraph tags. It is also showing a lot of div elements in places that they are not allowed. You can report back here with the titles of the posts that are causing problems and I can help you with fixing them.

When pasting from the web, always use the “paste as plain text” icon on the extended tool bar and when pasting from word, use the “paste from word” icon so that the code can be cleaned up.

There were threads on this on the front page only yesterday!

In any case, it generally happens for one of two reasons: Either you're posting an image that is too wide for your column, or you are pasting in content containing invisible tags that are messing things up. Do NOT paste from Word, ever. When pasting from elsewhere on the web, go into the Code editor and delete all the extra tags, or use the Advanced Toolbar feature with the brush icon to clean up your code. You will have to do this to all posts that may have been affected, because leaving it will only screw something else up later.
