  I wrote a blog entry and (via my iPad and laptop) endeavored to click on the LinkedIn “share” but and received a message saying Safari could not process “due to too many redirects.” This is the first time I’ve gotten this message and I am not able to send blog posts to my LinkedIn contacts who desire to receive them. Please help!

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

  Ugh!!
  It still does not work…even the kind link you sent me (Error message: “Invalid/missing request nonce.”) I went in and tried a new browser, then cleared the Safari settings/cookies, etc. and still…nothing:(((

  I really need to get my stuff working today.

  Ah yes, I’m having the same issue myself.

  I have heard LinkedIn was attacked by hackers today, although that may not be related to this.

  It works if you go in to the LinkedIn site and paste the link manually.

  Hmm. Hacked? Mmm.
  Ok. Thanks for the tip.
  But does that mean that when I paste the link to my blog I paste it onto my LinkedIn “update” section? …and will it (the update) only go to my contacts?

  Yes, you would paste it into the update section at the top.
  LinkedIn allows you to control sharing and set the settings
