I'm wondering if that could potentially be solved.

It would be nice if WP had a mechanism to either remove automatically deleted blogs or dead websites. However, what I do every 6 months or so, start at the bottom of my follow list and click each one, I see if they're either dead or no longer posting.

While I don't mind simply following blogs, I would like to know if someone deactivates, because there's no point in following them.

I was answering based on why the person said they wanted to know how to unfollow. They didn't say anything keeping up with friends.

Not sure if you noticed, but your response chiding me for being judgemental was pretty judgemental.

I hope that replying with my own reasons doesn't cause any more posters to feel the need to slight their ideas against yours.

Just saying "you should enjoy their feed and it shouldn't matter if they give a crap about you" is way judgemental and opinionated. It's not about getting revenge - it's about losing friends and getting disconnected from people you might still be promoting in your blogroll.

Clicking in the link lists them. Whether there is a way to tell who specifically unfollows you I don't know.

But because I don't follow blogs just because they follow me I dont have the issue of revenge unfollowing. If you just follow blogs you enjoy reading you won't have that problem.

Kind of like a "follower count" for both blogs we follow, and people who follow our blogs.

In many ways, I find it quite handy. It catches those grammatical mistakes I am prone to make.

I do not need WordPress' Spell checker as I have one with my browser. I write about birds and have already "trained" Firefox to recognize those names. Yes, I can "ignore", but would like to skip this step entirely, if possible. There are many options for what you wish the Proofreader to do, but you cannot check or uncheck an option for spelling. Could this please be included?

Thank you.

2. The ability to see how many people are online at the current time.

3. The second idea put in a widget, so people viewing the site can see how many people are on at the same time as they are.

]]> phoster on "New Blog Platform Feature" http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/new-blog-platform-feature#post-1092982 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 11:44:10 +0000 phoster 1092982@http://en.forums.wordpress.com/ Greetings. I have a new feature idea for blogging platforms. The idea is for bloggers to be able to indicate, per article, organizations' websites and web services to ping with article events, in addition to pinging blog search engines with each articles' events. As envisioned, the feature would be configurable on blogging platforms and then for each blog article.

Bloggers could indicate organizations, on a configuration page, by means of web service URL's. A web service function response could include organizational metadata for blogging platforms' user interfaces. Then, per article, bloggers could indicate which organizations that each blog article is pertinent to. Organizations could then receive pings for article events, from numerous bloggers, and link to or present the blog articles from numerous bloggers on their websites.

A use case is consumer advocacy. Consumer advocacy groups, e.g. the Better Business Bureau, can each independently spider and index blog articles and tweets, where blog articles and tweets can have keywords or folksonomic tags, e.g. "bbb" or "#bbb", and can each utilize that data and make that data available on their websites. With the described feature of indicating organizations to ping, per article, consumers', parents', teachers', and scholars' commentary, feedback, and opinion, about digital textbooks and curriculum, for example, could be specifically routed, as indicated by each blogger, empowering bloggers and adding value to numerous organizations' websites including those of consumer advocacy groups, teachers' and education-related organizations.

In addition to the use of hyperlinks for indicating discussed items, for example opening digital textbooks to specific pages and object configurations (http://idpf.org/epub/linking/cfi/epub-cfi.html, http://www.w3.org/TR/media-frags/), some bloggers might want to also utilize hypertext quotes or multimedia clips in their blog articles during fair use scenarios.

The new blogging platform feature of pinging one or more organizations as indicated per article could additionally benefit scholarly and scientific communication. Scholars and scientists with blogs could utilize the new feature to indicate which scholarly and scientific organizations to ping for specific blog articles. The blog articles of many scholars and scientists could then be linked to or appear on a number of scholarly and scientific organizations' websites for Web users to discover, read, and interact with.

Kind regards,

Adam Sobieski
