  Can I see/edit what sample blog posts you show to people who like one of my posts? I’ve been meaning to ask this question for a long time and just got around to it. Sometimes I get a list from fellow bloggers, sometimes I don’t, sometimes the list changes… Is it an algorithm which can’t be controlled by the blogger? Thanks for your help!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hello there Lori!

  Can I see/edit what sample blog posts you show to people who like one of my posts?

  Are you referring to the Related Posts that appear beneath you sharing buttons/likes section? As seen here:

  

  If so, there isn’t a way to control what is displayed there. Here is more information about Related Posts and how they work:

  I hope this helps! If you have any other concerns, drop me a note. Thanks much!

  Hi Robyn,

  Actually, I’m thinking of the email notifications. They say “Blogger X” liked your post on “Your Website”. Then it says: They thought “Your Post Y” was pretty awesome.

  You should go see what they’re up to. Maybe you’ll like their blog as much as they liked yours!

  At the bottom it may say: Great posts worth seeing from “Blogger X” and gives a list of (usually) three posts you can check out (sometimes fewer, sometimes none.)

  Since these links are a way to get folks to read further, it might be nice to be able to edit which of your posts you wanted to advertise. Is that possible? Just wondering if I’ve been missing out by not asking sooner! ;)

  Thanks for your help!!!

  Hi again Lori!

  Ah! Thanks for the clarification. Even though the scenario is different, the answer is the same. This is something that is created by our system, rather than something that each blogger can control. Sorry about that!

  If this is an idea you’d like to share with our developers as a possible future project, you can leave a note here:

  Thanks again. Great question — I hadn’t heard it before :)
