you've put up barriers to communication – some questions simply cannot be phrase

  • Unknown's avatar

    you’ve put up barriers to communication, barriers between us and you – some questions simply cannot be phrased for searches – and we already know it is 99.9% certain that the issue will not be on any of the forums … .

    now we have to jump through hoops and cannot reach you even to simply make a suggestion.

    I have been using this excellent service for 7 years now and this is the first time I have come away disappointed… .

    We maintain several blogs, for specific areas of interest. Would it be possible to have a listing come up on the dashboard showing the articles posted on ALL the blogs during the last week, for example. (All we get on the dashboard is a listing of our blogs with options to add new posts – it’s an overview, but not much use… ). Couldn’t it have an easy option to see just a listing, with dates, of recent posts?

    We are a non-profit organization and send out a weekly newsletter. We are trying to become more active on our blogs, and have started trying to list the past week’s publications (WordPress and Youtube) in the newsletter, but, due to the lack of a convenient way of keeping track what was written where, are finding it difficult to maintain… .

    The present system of having to consult each blog, one at a time, to check when something was posted, leaves room for error, as well as being very time-consuming…

    Thank you.

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

    We do not have a way to automatically repost your different blogs’ posts onto a single WordPress.com site.

    What might work for you would be to use the WordPress.com Reader to do this for you. From now on, if you tag each blog post on each blog with a tag unique to your sites, perhaps referencing your organization, you could then view that tag in your Reader.

    For example, the NaNoWriMo tag pulls up all posts tagged with that acronym, using the following syntax:
    http://wordpress.com/tag/nanowrimo/

    You and others who needed it could also add that tag into your own Readers and it would be saved so you could refer to it from week to week, and you could even give out the URL for the tag (as above) in your newsletter, as it would work for anyone, whether or not they had a WordPress.com account.

    You would want to choose a tag that is unlikely to be used by anyone else, so you don’t get random posts in your stream, but that should be reasonably easy to do.
