Category for entire blog?
-
how to get my blog under the family category? When looking at, “blogs we reccommend’, there are categories listed, incl one for ‘family’, but I don’t see how to select one for my blog.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
The blogs listed under the “recommended blogs” are curated by our Editor staff and generally come from a pool of blogs which have been featured in our “Freshly Pressed” program.
The best way to try and get featured in such a way is to post interesting, original, and insightful works that would have a wide potential reader base. Our Editors spend a lot of time every day doing nothing but reading blogs on our network, looking for the next Freshly Pressed participants!

I totally understand, and we’re glad to have you! Let us know if you run in to anything else you don’t quite get and we’ll see if we can’t help you out!

Actually, I’m currently struggling to figure out why all my categories, etc are showing up under every post. ARGH!
-
Have you already gone through and fixed this? Because I’m seeing that your tags and categories only have a few posts for each. You can review each right here:
Categories: https://notastepfordlife.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=category
Tags: https://notastepfordlife.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=category
These can be helpful for managing the two during times like now.
Or am I mis-understanding what you’re talking about? Let me know!
-
Haven’t fixed it, from what I can see.
Under the post, “there’s a tent in my yard” if you scroll to the bottom, all the categories are listed, archives, etc. Makes the page obnoxiously long, and, honestly, I can’t imagine why anyone would want to see that. Bleargh. -
Ohhh, I see what you’re talking about! That’s actually a widget that is in your footer which you can remove. If you log in to your dashboard and then go to Appearance >> Widgets, you’ll see all of your various sidebars which can contain widgets. This one is in your Third Footer Widget area. Since you have so many different categories, I would just remove it entirely to prevent such a long list. You may want to go with a category cloud instead?

Thank you!
While I have your attention *snicker* I also sent another contact form off about redirecting traffic from my old blogger blog. It’s not a purchased domain, just a free gig.blogger wants a DNS thingamabobber. Any ideas?
-
Honestly, not a single one. Could you maybe direct me to the page they sent you to (if it was a help page or something) or even copy/paste what they are asking so that I can get a better idea beyond “DNS thingamabobber?” I’m really bad with that new webbynet lingo. Always some new word to learn. ;)
But to be serious for a moment, you’re trying to redirect traffic from Blogger over to WordPress.com, right? If so, Blogger may be asking for an IP address at which to point your old address. If they are, we don’t really provide one. They hopefully can just forward any traffic to your domain name and that should work just fine (but that might be entirely too logical).

This is what they’re saying.
We have not been able to verify your authority to this domain. Error 13.
On your domain registrar’s website, locate your Domain Name System (DNS) settings and enter the following two CNAMEs:
Name, Label, or Host field Destination, Target, or Points To field
www ghs.google.com
hjbl5aljhcrs gv-5db2fduc7how7u.dv.googlehosted.com
See our detailed instructions on providing CNAMEs for various registrars or see the full settings instructions for more details. If you are having trouble entering the second CNAME to dv.googlehosted.com, you can verify your ownership of this domain with a TXT record through the Google webmaster tools here instead.
If your domain provider supports it, download the DNS settings file.
Enter the domain which your blog will be hosted at.
Your domain must be properly registered first. View settings instructions.
Use a missing files host? No
If you specify a missing files host, Blogger will look there if it cannot find a specified file on your regular domain. Learn more. -
Okay! Now I understand what they want. I have set that up in your DNS settings (You now have a CNAME which is hjbl5aljhcrs.notastepfordlife.com that points to gv-5db2fduc7how7u.dv.googlehosted.com, which is how they verify your ownership of the domain).
You’ll just need to wait an hour or so and go in and click whatever button you need to and verify ownership. Should go through without an issue. Let me know if there are any problems though!
