As We Approach The Weekend – Open Discussion

There is so much happening.

We have gotten through the Betty Shelby trial.   Again, a jury looked at video but decided the verdict in favor of Shelby.

There’s daily news and new revelations regarding the White House.

I wanted to write something different today.  Then I remembered that Word Press made some changes to its Reader.  So, here’s a question for Word Press bloggers.  Did you know that if you publish more than one blog post the same day in succession, that the posts no longer appear separately in the Reader?  The titles are listed in a box and there is no summary. 

Months ago, Word Press changed the Reader, eliminating the social media share buttons.  Now, if a blogger publishes more than one post within minutes of each other, the reblog and “like” functions are no longer available. This means that subscribers must come directly to each blog post.  Unless you’re using a theme that lists your most recent posts, and that allows all of your most recent posts to show, those using the Reader have to toggle back and forth between the Reader and your blog in order to access each post.

Bloggers might want to check the settings on the “Recent Posts” widget and increase the number of posts to compensate for the number of posts they publish daily.

This might help some bloggers who do publish more than one blog post a day so they can pace how they publish.

Now, we can get back to writing about those causes that motivate us to make this world a better place.  Cheers!
