  At some point on my blog I activated Zemanta. Now when I create a new post, however, it does not give any suggestions. I don’t even see the box where it would make suggestions anymore. I am very new to wordpress so I am learning as I go. I checked to make sure Zemanta is still checked. It is. Have I changed some other setting somewhere and killed it or is Zemanta down?

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

  Zemanta analyses the texts [actually paragraphs] from your post. To let Zemanta work, you should have some paragraphs in your post. The post must be saved/updated atleast once and Visual Editor must be on.

  Thanks for your quick reply. That was the problem. I did not have enough text yet and it hadn’t been saved yet.

  :-) Let us know, if any other problem arises with Zemanta. I’m a huge ‘fan’ of Zemanta.

  I will certainly let you know! I will be honest I don’t like all its suggestions. I am doing a Disney World Blog and it always suggests generic maps and/or wikipedia. Is it possible they avoid direct disney links?

  I can’t get Zemanta to work on my blog. I can see the box over on the side with the “refine” and “update”, but it still never finds anything or offer me any suggestions. Yes I do have text typed and I have saved the post. Still nothing. Any suggestions?

  I am new to wordpress so trying to figure it out. But in reading about zemanta it seems all you need to do is click the box in the settings, and shouldn’t need to do anything else.
  Help? thanks!
