Comment on Social Media Tool: Buffer by Julie @ Build Sew Reap

Ah ha!! Of course, right after I asked you, I figured it out on my own. In case someone else has this problem, there's an "x" to the right of your Facebook picture on your dashboard on Buffer. Click that "x" to delete the profile then click the Facebook icon that pops up and add the correct profile.

I'm stumped, I joined but it looks like it will only link up my personal Facebook account for free. I can't seem to figure out how to link up just my one blog facebook page. It seems like others here have done it with no problem, can you offer any advice? I don't want my personal page scheduled at all.

Comment on How to Make a Blog Button by JennyRain

Amy – been trying unsuccessfully for a while to do not only the blog button, but also the text area underneath it. I've deleted and redone the quotes. The problem is when the user grabs the code from the box and attempts to paste it into their blog post – it changes the quotes to smart quotes even though I've gone thru all of the steps above. it's driving me nuts… thoughts?

I'm on a WP.org site

Comment on Are Your Emails Making People Nuts? by Fiona

Fiona — Sat, 19 May 2012 18:22:56 +0000

I recently decided to unsubscribe to quite a number of the emails and newsletters because I just don't bother to read them. Some send them out daily and it becomes too monotonous reading and asked to be added to the swap email lists that have been partnered with others.

My biggest problem is that after a few days the emails suddenly appear again and in the hope of trying to keep my inbox to a bare mininum I still end up getting these spam emails I unsubscribed from. When unsubscribing, the page takes ages to load and this is very annoying.

I've done this through Google/Blogger. I think it's private through them.

Your tutorials have once again saved my blog! I can't retain this technical information, so each time I have to do something on my blog, I have to come back here to find your posts and follow the directions EXACTLY. It takes me awhile, but eventually it seems to click! Thank you again. Such an invaluable service!

There are some sites that make it almost impossible to subscribe. Why would anyone want to make their readers mad? Thanks for all your great content here Amy. I felt like you were right there with me when I started my blog!! You provide an amazing service to your readers.
