No more shortlink in new WordPress look?
-
Hi!
Relative to my other question on the missing “video post format” in the new look of WordPress, I noticed that the button for “view shortlink” is no longer available as well.
Again, was this overlooked or intentional? I usually use the short link for my tweets and shares. I also wonder why in the “share” option, there is no more default message provided if ever I wish to simultaneously share my post through FB or Twitter.
Thanks very much!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

There are currently some problems with the New Post button in the Reader. Staff has advised us to use the post editor in the main dashboard instead.
If you go to your blog’s main dashboard (http://kcreol.wordpress.com/wp-admin/) and create a new post by clicking on Posts ->Add New in the sidebar menu you will still find the shortlink button and all the publicize options. Your post format options should also all be available there.
You’ll find creating posts this way is much more stable and provides many more options for making it look exactly like you want. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/new-post-screen/ Existing posts you can edit by going to Posts ->All Posts and clicking the Edit link under the post title.
Note that you can also get the shortlink by viewing the blog post and hovering the mouse pointer over the blog name in the grey admin bar. http://en.support.wordpress.com/shortlinks/
