How can followers get notified that I posted a new project?
-
My followers don’t get notified when I post a new project, and since I don’t use ‘posts’ in my portfolio this is quite a problem. Is there a way to solve this? Thank you in advance.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hope they are helpful.

Since it is not clear from this support doc https://en.support.wordpress.com/portfolios/ whether new portfolio projects ping update feeds, I’ve tagged this for Staff attention and reply.

Hi @mariabuckjensen,
Followers are notified of new posts because posts are more like news items. For a number of reasons, portfolio items are treated a bit differently — especially since many creators will add and update them in bulk.
If you’d like to notify followers of new pieces, I’d suggest writing updates now and then and posting them in a blog section of the site. These posts can highlight recent projects, and you can link back to individual portfolio items or collections.
I hope that helps!

@supernovia- thanks for the clarification. I therefore assume that the portfolio page does not generate a feed?

@justjennifer, it will generate a feed url, but it won’t be formatted in the way a feed reader would expect.
