I don't mind manually submitting links on my Facebook and Twitter accounts, but I now have 1,000+ WordPress.com and 300+ email subscribers that weren't informed of the new post. The post has been up for four hours now and it has no "likes" or comments yet, which is unusually and disheartening.

Is there a way for me to have this post re-publicized, for my WordPress.com and email subscribers? I'm thinking there isn't a way, but just putting it out there.

It's one thing to say "here's something I wrote" but a whole different thing to say "And then this guy said this about the thing that I wrote" multiple times.

I have a post with over 2,000 comments. Can you imagine that I'd have any FB friends left at all if I publicized all of those?

That doesn't seem to matter for my posts going to my personal FB page, the pictures are just random. FB does pick up the featured image for my fan page. The only time it doesn't is if I use a gif - I did that today and nothing went thru to FB for either my personal page or my fan page.

What we do know is:

  • Only the first five images uploaded to a post (direct inclusion/gallery/slideshow) will be sent to Facebook. The images size has to be at least 200 x 200 pixels.
  • To select which image will be used for things like Facebook Publicize, you can use a theme that supports featured images. If a featured image isn’t set or your theme doesn’t use featured images, then the code tries to pick the first image in the post or page. If no image is found, then the blavatar is used.

I posted the additional question and then thought it should be posted as a separate post, so I wrote it again. And I did read the explanation. A simple: you can't show more than one post would be sufficient. Not all of us are savvy to all this tech stuff you know. And as far as listing my url, when you post a question it asks which blog you are referring to, so I assume you have access to the proper blog.

Since you think I'm stupid, I'll see if I can add 6 days worth of posts to the "featured section."

I've had nothing but wonderful help here, but frankly, your attitude simply sucks.

Left Side

Upper section: latest post.
Middle section: “featured” posts (enclosed in a grey background).
Lower section: “asides” (no title, no date, no comments, no categories, no line or paragraph breaks).

Featured posts are any number of posts you decide to showcase by marking them as stickies.

Study the post more carefully please!
And please paste the URL of your blog when asking questions here. Or make your username link to your blog (Users > Personal Settings: scroll down to Account Details, paste blog URL in the Website field, click Save Changes).

Your most recent post dated March 30, 2011 is appearing in Google's index > http://tinyurl.com/4kl2a9q

Those using search engines expect search engines to deliver the most fresh and original content in the SERPs and that's what the search engines aim to deliver. The nature of your posts may be problematic. They do not contain any original content. All they contain is a link to media articles that have already been indexed by Google on the original sites they were published on. This could cause Google to drop your posts into the supplementary index and not return the results in SERPs (search engine page results) because they have been previously indexed on their original site of publication.

As to having the tagline, "the weblog of mike isaacson" it's visible to search engines. As for people being able to see it, that is theme dependent. I believe you could add it if you know CSS. Or, as I did, added it in Photoshop on the header image.

Thank you all for responding.

Tess - Oops! Noted.

Teck - Great! Thanks. I finally succeeded.

Raincoaster - I dunno . . . would just like to make it look better: perhaps a different font, a different colour, with "the weblog of mike isaacson" in smaller letters on the line beneath it.

Also under the Publicize tab in FeedBurner (can someone please explain its interrelationship with WordPress), I managed to add a "Headline Animator" . . . but what is its purpose, and what does "↑ Grab this Headline Animator" mean?

From a glance at my blog, are there any other features that I should consider adding?

Thanks once again,

Mike
