Linking problems
-
When I comment on others’ blogs and click myself, it tells me that my blog has been deleted. I once deleted the first blog I made on this account, but I’ve since made another one, and that is my primary. When I hover on others’ names it shows me the link and display to their blog..when I do that to myself it comes up as “the author has deleted this blog…create a free one here” HELP!!!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
In your dashboard go to users > your profile and make sure your current, and non-deleted blog is set as the “primary” blog. Also on that same page, make sure that under “website” that it has your correct blog URL.
If you are talking about comments you made on other blogs before you deleted the old blog, those will not automatically update to the new blog when you deleted the other one. You would have to contact each blog owner where it has the old blog and ask them to edit all your blog comments and to correct the URL.

I can’t seem to get this to work. I’ve linked my blog as my website in my profile and I’ve made sure that my blog is set as my primary blog.
-
Oh, also, my username is still “othrwisetnbeing”, but the blog I use now is “notsopostcritical.wordpress.com”
-
What are your Privacy settings on that blog? If it’s set to block search engines, then your username probably won’t function as a link.
Changing the nickname and changing the blog the username links to are two different things.

Also, you do have to put the FULL link in, in other words not “notsopostcritical.wordpress.com” but http://notsopostcritical.wordpress.com

Thanks for the speedy reply! The privacy settings are open to all, including search engines. Also, I changed my url from “othrwisetnbeing” to “notsopostcritical”, made the latter my primary blog and deleted the former altogether. I’m not sure if that makes a difference here or not.
I double checked and the link is preceded by “http://”.

Please just give me the entire thing you’ve got under “Website” on that page. This poking around with half a URL here and another half over there doesn’t work to solve problems.
It may be related, it may not be, but until I have the exact contents of that box, I can’t help.

Under “links” on the profile page, I have “http://notsopostcritical.wordpress.com” listed as “ex tempore” the title of the blog. As I said, this is under the “links” section at the bottom of the page, and a thumbnail of the site appears there.
Contrary to what some of the forum posts have shown, I do not have a “website” form available under “contacts.”
