Don't know, is it actually ok to moderate 'what and who' reblogs.. as may eventually mark this as private then as is kind of personal *not too much* was just trying something that many have done lately this 'map' thing....

Dubious, as I cannot see it at his blog?

The perfect response to anyone who posts off topic ie hijacks a thread is to provide this link http://en.forums.wordpress.com/?new=1 and tell them to post their own thread.

You already had a thread and had no reason to post into this one at al all.

Please do not start a habit of hijacking the threads that other bloggers post and going on about issues that are off topic in them.

There are pages and pages of threads wherein bloggers who need help are waiting for it. http://en.forums.wordpress.com/view/support-forum-no

Please help us to help them by not wasting either your words or time or ours either. Thank you, in advance, for listening and cooperating by not responding so I can help someone else.

So, had answered it myself, pretty much and posted it here..
Who Follows by Email

(all raincoaster had said is that you can't and wordpress won't allow it? Anyhow, found him a little too confusing) Nice of him to offer etc..

Bye Now :)

Now I certainly don't want to bulk email anyone, or use it at all much aside from research.. Also poignant how many go about it this way; instead of 'liking or commenting'. Ironic...

If that is the case, to me it's my privacy that is being 'manipulated', at least when I became aware of it, in settings I turned off the pictures, so they would not be included.. nor in rss..

I'm not staff, though. This is just my opinion.

Legally, in Canada at least, the fact people have signed up to get your posts via email doesn't give you the right to use their emails for anything else, and this setup facilitates the use of emails ONLY for specifically what people have signed up for.

Oh and not listed via stats lower left box.. Thnx, Sasha

If someone signs up to read the blog, that doesn't mean they signed up to get mass emails from you. I know there are "marketing gurus" and "social media gods" who say different, but those people are spammers.

(Just curious, how would one fly me the middle finger via the internet? Send a pic? Make a video?) -jk

Is it possible to, and how do I, send a mass email to all my subscribers/followers?

3. You can also set up a secure contact form.

Social networking is strictly give to get. It takes months of posting frequently to attract viewers who will actually submit comments. The best way to get comments on your own posts is to leave meaningful comments on blogs with similar content to what's in your own blog. Set a goal of commenting on "X" number of blogs weekly and carry through.

To my mind, this would serve the dual purpose of highlighting to other WP users what's new out there, and also help new blogs get started. It can be very disheartening to get zero view counts day after day when you're new to the blogging game, particularly when you want to keep your blog anonymous and not link it up to your facebook or twitter accounts.

Just a thought... thanks :-)

The idea is fairly straightforward:

1. A spammer spams a forum, blog, guestbook, Web form, or whatever with a seemingly innocuous post. Sometimes, the post is generated by software that produces gibberish that sounds like it might be plausible. Each one of these posts is unique; the spammer never uses the same exact one twice.

2. After a day or two, the spammer uses automated search tools to search for the spam posts. The automated software keeps a database of the unique spam posts and the forum, blog, guestbook, or whatever where it was posted.

3. If the Web search sees the spam post, then the spammer knows that particular blog or forum or whatever isn't running effective antispam or IP blacklisting defenses. Now all of a sudden the address of that blog is more valuable to the spammers; the address of the forum or blog will likely be sold to other spammers and "black hat SEO" operators, and slammed with spam like whoa.
