  I have a number of blogs and wanted to reblog one of my posts from my personal site to my office blog, but first I tried it out on a practice blog to see how it would look. Now every time I go to the original post, it says “reblogged” at the top instead of giving me a link to reblog it to the new site. Are we limited to reblogging a post only once?

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

  Yes. This is an anti-spam measure.

  Great. No way I can have access to reblog settings for my own blog? I actually deleted the reblogged post and the comment that came back from it. Lesson learned. Guess I’ll have to “reblog” my own post the old-fashioned cut and paste way. That’s sad.

  Thanks

  Why not use copy a post? http://en.support.wordpress.com/writing-helper/copy-a-post/

  Provided you did not permanently delete it, you can try restoring form Trash http://en.support.wordpress.com/trash/#restoring-from-trash

  Yes, I’ve seen that option, but I can never figure out how to get it to the other blog. Instead, I get a copy on the original blog. Still looking.

  I could restore it from trash, but it’s on the wrong blog. It’s reblogged on a practice site I use in workshops.

  You can also just manually make a blockquote and link, and you can even make it a Sticky post if you want.
