Can WordPress.org people post on WordPress.com?
-
Since I am having an impossible time trying to get ping backs to work on WordPress.com Daily Posts is it because WordPress.org people can’t post on that site? Or is it because I just can’t understand ping backs in general?
Thanks.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

@cpgopack I’m almost positive that .org blogs are eligible to participate in the Daily Post. It does look like you have the wrong link in your post however.
All “pingback” means is that you included a link to the prompt question somewhere in your post. So for your I Love Lucy post, this is the link you would include in the post: http://dailypost.wordpress.com/dp_prompt/cast-change/
In the future, all you have to do to get the link is click on the title of the prompt to which you want to reply, and copy the link from the address bar.
Note: you don’t have to include just a blank link at the bottom. You could link the actual text at the top of your post where you introduce the topic.
Here’s how that works: http://en.support.wordpress.com/links/
Hope that helps!

Thank you. I looked at that but it’s not clear if I can put posts on the Daily Posts WordPress specifically. My ping backs to it aren’t working and I am checking to see if that may be why.
Thank you

OK, lizthefair! I’m going to go try that!
Keep your fingers crossed for me…I have been working on this and banging my head on the computer screen for weeks…..
Thanks!

Oh-oh….I don’t think it worked. How can I see if a link or ping back worked. :-( I didn’t see it post to Daily Post…..darn.
I linked to WordPress at the top and then typed in the URL in the ‘pop-up’ for the ping back…UGH

You absolutely did it right. My guess is they have to approve the pingbacks before they appear to avoid spam. I know you’ve been working on this for a while, but if you could wait for a bit to see if it shows up later I think that’s your best bet.

Thanks. Sorry for being impatient…. :-/
I do appreciate your help and your time on this…AND thanks for telling me I finally did this right!! YAY!

no problem. I totally understand the desire to know for sure if something worked or not. If you don’t see it up there by Monday, come back and leave another note in this thread. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

OK. I’m going to need therapy after this. Yesterday I wrote a post for WordPress.com Daily Post (being confident in my new ping back skills) and nope, never showed up on the Daily Posts. There must be something about my blog blocking them (?)…..

Well that’s a bummer. I do think you are doing it right so I’ll tag the thread for staff assistance. Hopefully they can shed some light.
