  8. Sometimes, I struggle to find a subscribe or follow button on blogs. I came across one recently where there wasn’t one. I spent ages looking and even left a comment asking how to subscribe to receive more posts, but the host didn’t reply to my comment!

    But I’m delighted that WordPress now makes adding a subscribe (to my blog) button to all your posts (past and future) even more effortless. And the best part is that once you switch on this setting, you won’t have to do it again.

    Is it easy for visitors to follow your blog?

    Where and how to switch on the Subscribe Block button.

    • On the dashboard of your blog, go to Settings – Newsletter.
    • On the Newsletter settings page, look for ‘Add the Subscribe block at the end of each post,’ and slide the button to the ‘on’ position.
    Slide the button to the ‘on’ position.
    • Click the ‘Save Settings’ button.

    That’s it! The ‘Subscribe’ block will appear on all of your posts (past and future), making it easy for anyone visiting your blog to follow you.

    This is what the block looks like if you’re already subscribed to the blog or have just signed up.

    You’re following my blog. Thank you.

    How easy is it for a new visitor to follow or subscribe to your blog?

    Why Do You Use The WordPress Reader? This Is Why You Should Use It.

    The WordPress Reader is great for reading the posts of the blogs you follow. But did you know it can do much more?

    This is what I found out.

    Why do you use the WordPress Reader?

  9. I don’t use the WordPress Reader nearly as much as I should.

    I get email notifications when new blog posts are published by the bloggers I follow. This makes sense as I only follow around 55 blogs, most of which publish no more than a few times a week.

    Am I missing out on not using the WordPress Reader? I think so, yes! But why?

    Tell me why you use or don’t use the WordPress Reader.

    One of the reasons I stopped using the WP Reader was that when I was following over 500 blogs, I felt like a hamster constantly running around a wheel in my endless battle to reach the top of the reader. I never reached the top, so I thought I was missing out!

    However, I occasionally use the WordPress Reader to search for posts on subjects I enjoy reading. In my opinion, this is where the WordPress Reader is at its best!

    For example, I recently entered the word ‘WordPress’ into the reader search bar and was presented with a long list of blog posts in which ‘WordPress’ had been used as a category or tag (this shows how important categorising and tagging your posts is).

    But before I discuss some of the search results, let me first say that, unlike some bloggers who seem to think WordPress has deleted the ‘Reader,’ the WP Reader has moved.

    Where is the WordPress Reader?

    If you’re using a desktop computer, the WP Reader is now located in the top right corner of your blog. Look for the pair of spectacles icon.

    The WordPress Reader icon has changed and moved.

    Click on it, and you’ll be taken to the WordPress Reader.

    On mobile phones and tablets (using the Jetpack app), the WP Reader icon (spectacles) is located at the bottom of the screen.

    What I found in the search results!

    I was delighted to see some of my posts appear in the search results. However, I was more interested in the posts from blogs I don’t currently follow.

    One of those posts that grabbed my attention was from Mitch, who blogs at The Power Of Story. Mitch’s post, ‘What’s Up WordPress?‘, was about the sudden ups and downs of his blog’s number of subscribers/followers. Indeed, I’ve noticed the same thing happening with my blog.

    My subscriber/follower stats have become like a fairground rollercoaster ride. Some days, I lose a lot of subscribers/followers, and then the numbers suddenly return, although not the same subscribers.

    I did some digging and found that WordPress are now actively deleting spam blogs and blogs run by spambots. That’s a good thing, especially since I’ve been manually unsubscribing them for many months. WordPress is unsubscribing these blogs for me, although I will unsubscribe any I find myself.

    Have you noticed your subscriber/follower numbers going on a rollercoaster ride recently?

    Another post that grabbed my attention from the results page was from Kevin, who blogs at Chef Kevin Ashton. Kevin’s post, titled ‘The Thorny Issue Of WordPress Likes.’ touched on a subject I’ve often written about – the ‘like’ button!

    Love it or hate it, the ‘like’ button is something just about every WordPress user and visitor will use. However, Kevin touched on the subject of ‘guilt’ by not using it, especially when he doesn’t have enough time to visit and read blogs.

    I’ve been there, Kevin. Many bloggers feel guilty or stressed about not clicking ‘like’, visiting blogs that follow them, or leaving comments. Yet, in my opinion, nobody really cares that you can’t always visit their blog. I’ve discovered that leaving one engaging comment occasionally that shows you read the post is much more appreciated than leaving short, non-engaging comments just to prove you visited. However, you may not have read their post.

    I’ve written many posts about blogging guilt and stress. In my last post on the subject, ‘Stressed Or Feeling Guilty About Blogging? Please Read This Post. Let’s Keep Blogging Fun,’ many readers spoke up about how bad they feel when they don’t have the time to read blogs, click ‘like,’ and leave comments, often resulting in blogging feeling like a chore rather than something that should be enjoyed.

    Nobody should ever feel obliged to read posts, click the ‘like’ button or leave comments. Keep blogging fun.

    How do you deal with blogging stress or guilt?

    The happy and sad sides of blogging!

    It was also lovely to see blog posts celebrating milestones on WordPress in the results. From celebrating 15 years of blogging on WordPress to publishing their 100th post and some folks being notified that their blogs had achieved half a million visits, these posts brought a smile to my face.

    Of course, posts complaining about how bad WordPress is and the problems bloggers are having also appeared in the results. Although I only read a few, most of the reported issues were related to WordPress’s changes, and the author often confirmed in the comments section that the issue(s) had now been resolved.

    Personally, I’m pleased that WordPress does make changes. If they left things alone, the platform would quickly become outdated and dull, as would all our blogs. WordPress would lose many paying customers, and we’d all lose our blogs if they went out of business. I used to hate change but learned that adapting to it is much less stressful than fighting it

    Are you encountering any issues with WordPress? My recent post, ‘WordPress Problems: Don’t Panic! How To Solve Issues Quickly,’ may be of some help.

    Are your blog posts appearing on the WordPress Reader?

    I always check that my blog posts appear in the WordPress reader. To do this, I follow my blog and check the reader immediately after publishing a post. If it’s not there, I know there’s a problem.

    There are several reasons why your posts may not appear in the WordPress Reader. The main reason is that you add too many categories and tags to a post. WordPress allows up to 15 categories and tags combined. Your post could be marked as spam and won’t appear if you add more, so ensure you do not add more than 15 tags and categories (combined).

    There may also be technical reasons why your posts don’t show in the reader. If you don’t see your posts, contact WordPress. They’ll be able to help.

    That’s it for today. I’ll share other interesting posts when I do more searches on the WordPress Reader.

  11. Have you noticed the new feature WordPress has added to your blog’s dashboard? It’s located on the ‘My Home‘ page in the top right corner.

    But what does this new feature do?

    This new ‘settings’ feature is easy to use. But what does it do?

    For this post, I’m using an Apple iMac desktop computer and the ‘Default‘ view setting of my blog’s dashboard.

    You’ll find this new feature on the ‘My Home’ page of your blog’s dashboard

    Let’s get started

    • Click on the meatball menu (three horizontal dots) to open a new menu.
    Click the kebab menu to open a new menu

    The menu contains two options – Settings and Manage Domains.

    Let’s take a look at the two options

    1. Settings – this option takes you to the General Settings page of your blog.

    You can make many changes to your blog on this page, including your blog’s icon (photo or image), name, and tagline.

    Edit your blog’s icon, title and tagline
    • Click the ‘Save Settings‘ button if you make any changes.

    On the same page, you can also create a logo for your blog via Fiverr logo maker (note that there is a charge for this) and set/change your blog’s primary language and timezone. Remember to save any changes you make.

    Another option includes setting privacy settings for your blog.

    Privacy – This is where you can set your blog to public viewing (anyone can view it) or private viewing (only visible to you and logged-in members you have approved to view it). There is also a ‘Coming Soon‘ option, so your blog is hidden from view until it’s ready for viewing.

    Set privacy settings for your blog

    Two other options are also available.

    If ticked, the ‘Discourage search engines from indexing this site‘ option will prevent search engines from indexing your blog, but note that it is up to search engines to honour your request.

    The ‘Prevent third-party sharing‘ option should be ticked if you want to restrict your blog’s content from AI training and third-party use. It will exclude your blog’s public content from WordPress’s network of third-party content and research partners. It also adds known AI bots to the ‘disallow’ list in your blog’s robots.txt file to stop them from crawling your site, though it is up to AI platforms to honour this request.

    Click the ‘Save Settings‘ button if you make any changes.

    Other settings include –

    Accept a gift subscription – turn this setting on to accept gift subscriptions from visitors to your blog.

    Footer credit: Here, you can choose or edit a footer credit that appears at the bottom of your blog’s pages and posts.

    Site tools – this section allows you to do the following.

    • Register a new domain or change your blog’s URL address.
    • Transfer your blog to another blogging provider.
    • You can reset your blog and start afresh while keeping the same domain/blog name. (If you choose this option, all your posts, pages, and media will be deleted).
    • Delete your blog and give up your blog’s domain/address.

    2. Manage Domains — This option takes you to the part of your blog where you can manage your blog’s domains.

    It’s worth checking this page to see what domains you have and to see offers for other domains you may be interested in purchasing for your blog.

    While you may not visit your blog’s settings page regularly, it’s worth knowing that there is now an even quicker way to find these settings.

    Any questions? Leave them in the comments section.
