WordPress.com specifically announced that they were partnering with the site and that you could post from there to here - there's even a support page on it at http://en.support.wordpress.com/plinky-a-tool-for-writers-block/ .

WordPress.com is engineered to prevent autoposting. It is a great place to blog, but a terrible aggregator.

Twice now I have seen this spinning cursor for over an hour and no post has been published on my WordPress account.

I searched through the support topics on both Plinky and WordPress: I have verified my account on Plinky, followed WordPress's support thread with regards to connecting Plinky, but still the posting feature is not working for me.

I hope someone with Plinky experience can help me out! I only just discovered Plinky and it seems like such a shame to not be able to use it.

There are a number of steps to go through, I remember. (I briefly tried it a couple years ago, but then disconnected it and stopped using it because it was posting posts to FB even when I hadn't chosen to publicize that particular post to FB -- also, I prefer sharing to a specific group, not my profile, when I do share something, so I do that through the sharing button on the post itself.)

I suppose that when I was on the page for some other reason, there was a stray click, but I'd think I would have had to have done something more than just a stray click. Thank goodness the ugly box is gone!

Not for FB and not for any of the others. (Yes, I know where to find them in the "sharing" section -- I direct people, too, and it's in the same place where you add the sharing buttons to your post.) And when I click the "edit" on the posting page to see if the check mark is somehow checked there (despite not having the sharing settings turned on), it isn't. But wp.com for some reason thinks that I do want to turn on FB publicize and wants to lead me through it.

It only recently popped up in the last week or two & it isn't going away. I keep thinking that maybe I should just authorize FB, then disconnect it, but that's a pain to do if it's not going to go away afterwards.

Maybe you can disable it via your 'my blogs' setting? Have a look at this which has info about the settings and where they live:

It's just above the post/update button, and it's large:
To enable Publicize: Facebook, you will need to authorize your WordPress.com account on MMADfan's Blog & Fanfic Site to connect with your Facebook account.

Clicking the link below will take you to Facebook where you will need to log in and click “allow” several times.

Authorize connection with Facebook

I tried going into "edit" next to the publicize with Facebook option, but there's no way to turn off the big thing telling me to authorize FB & connect, etc. None that I could see, anyway. :-(

I wish that the writing prompts page was only visible if you selected "fun mode," but I can deal with having to click the "edit" button to get back to the other screen.

It inspires me to write more post. I'm counting from 84th and I made 93rd post today. Atleast, my dashboard is encouraging me to blog more. It's better than those one line notices: "Post Published. View Post."

I suspect the prompts are there on the page after publishing so that you want to publish a new post again straight after! I can't think of another reason anyway...

@ mmadfan.... where or when do you see the large colored box with the instructions on how to connect to Facebook? I don't recall seeing that. (Or maybe I just blanked it out, given my dislike of it.)

I always just click away from it -- often back to the edit window or to the view post. (It seems there are more features being added that we can't choose to avoid -- like the large, colored box with the instructions on how to connect to Facebook, which I don't want to do, but there's no way to dismiss the box so I don't see it every time I go to post something.)

And now that I think about it, it does kind of annoy me that the prompts show up after I've already posted. They make way more sense on the dashboard where I can see them before I write something.

I find it really annoying because the edit page vanishes. If I want to edit further (which I sometimes do if I've forgotten to add categories or the excerpt or something, for instance, I have to then click the 'edit' tag. And seeing a different screen drives me potty.

But for those who like prompts, it would certainly make more sense to have them on the dashboard, possibly on the Post Editor page in a module that could be closed if one wants.

After I post, all I see is the post itself, in edit mode this time, and I can click a link to view the post.

I've never used "fun mode" -- sounded distracting to me when I first saw it.

I believe this maybe a planned to appear on our dashboards, provided we don't disable it as I have done. I believe what you have posted the screen shot of will only appear only if you activate "fun mode" here > Profile > Personal Settings > Personal Options

It shows up for all of my blogs. It doesn't bother me at all.

Again, I love the writing prompts but I would like it if the writing prompts were on the Dashboard. It's the first page I open when I open my blog and it would be nice to have a little nudge right there in my dashboard, easily accessible.

Just a suggestion.

Thanks!

A short while ago when dashboard changes were made after I published a post I got a page asking me a bunch of questions including whether or not I wished to use publicize and the like. I found it to be extremely annoying. I no longer have it and I'm not clear if it was being tested by Staff who removed it or if I found a way to disable it.
