Ah well, it's not the end of the world - I was just confused, really.

Thanks for looking into it!

Thanks, timethief.

Yes, I do clean out my spam frequently but I only get 4-5 spams a week (max), so I do check each one. None of them were reblog comments. =/

By chance did you check your notifications to see if it is there?
https://wordpress.com/#!/notifications/ There is a tab for reblogs.

I don't have any of those boxes ticked and I still get a little speech bubble when someone comments, star when someone likes etc. and I thought I got a notification for reblogs this same way.

I am referring to the explanation given on the reblogging support section that reads:

"What happens when my posts get reblogged?

An excerpt of your post will be published on the reblogger’s site (with a link back to your original post), and you’ll receive a reblog notification in the post comments (you might need to approve it first):

Then there's a little screencap of a comment that says, "Reblogged this on Matt Thomas..."

Does that notification only work if they comment as well when they reblog? I understood that it should always show on my post and therefore, I would get a 'comment' notification when I logged in to WordPress.

At present, there is absolutely no record of my post having been re-blogged and I just happened upon it by chance.

If you do not you checkmark
E-mail me whenever
__Someone reblogs one of my posts here > Dashboard > Settings > Discussion then you will not receive an email notification.

I don't get emails for any of those things as I found it a bit annoying having my inbox clogged up when I can just check directly on my blog for any comments, 'likes' etc.

I would just like a notification on WordPress and a 'comment' on the post, which is how I understood it should work from reading the help section about re-blogging.

At present, there is absolutely no record of my post having been re-blogged and I just happened upon it by chance.

E-mail me whenever
__Anyone posts a comment
__A comment is held for moderation
__Someone likes one of my posts
__Someone reblogs one of my posts
__Someone follows my blog

I discovered yesterday that someone had re-blogged one of my posts but I did not get a notification of this, nor did a re-blog 'comment' come up on the post in question.

The only reason I know it was re-blogged is because the re-blogger also 'liked' the post and whenever someone new likes my posts, I click through to their blog to check it out. Mine was the first (and only...) post on said blog.

I don't know if this is the only time that one of my posts has been re-blogged or if there are other secret re-blogged posts out there that I just haven't been notified about!

I appreciate people liking my work enough to share it, so don't mind people re-blogging my posts, I would just like to know about it when they do.

Here is a link to the original post and the re-blogged version:

Thanks!

1. embedding a tweet seems to not work on re-blogged posts. example - re-blog post in 'reader' view. add text. press re-blog. go back to edit post in 'posts' screen. open re-blog. add tweet url. press 'preview' or 'publish'. does not work in either 'visual' or 'html'

2. you have to add line break html to put spaces between desired paragraphs when re-blogging. is that supposed to be the case?

slightly related to the above: switching between 'html' and 'visual' usually always removes the 'html' shortcode and subsequent formatting when pressing preview or publish

thanks
