WordPress Queston/Complaint

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

WordPress allows for multiple authors, and allows me, as the administrator, to limit contributors to only post drafts, that do not get published until I review it, but doesn’t have an option for me to get an email when there’s a new post waiting for me to review? Seriously?

Is it just me, or does it seem like having that feature built-in should be a no-brainer? I think it should be, but I guess it isn’t built-in to WordPress. Guess I’ll have to look for a plugin that accomplshes it easily.

    Linked – This is the year of the RSS reader. (Really!)

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    I have heard this before, but is the Twitter situation going to be the thing that moves the needle for RSS? I started using Revue to send newsletters last year as an option for people who were trying to follow my websites on social media but ran into the algorithm deciding not to shat them anything that was being posted, especially with Facebook Pages. It had some subscribers but not that many. After Twitter killed Revue, I also moved to Substack and have seen some growth, but I’m also realizing that we can’t replicate Twitter with email newsletters.

    I’m posting this using the latest release of WLW. I kinda like it. I’ve been using it quite a bit for posting to my other blog, which is a Movable Type blog, but had stayed away from using it here because it didn’t incorporate all the new Blogger features when that upgrade came out. Now…

    As seen on Doc Searls Weekend Outline, there is a new study that shows 1 in 5 Internet users are using some sort of ad-blocking tool. According to the article, that loss of eyeballs is really starting to hurt some sites. It also points out that some of this has been self-inflicted as well. As…

    Hmm I discovered Blogdex today. Not only is it a great way to find out what folks are talking about in their blogs lately, it’s also a great way to find out who’s been linking to you, and what they’re saying about you. For example, by searching for my own url, I found that someone…

  • Experimenting With Social Plugin

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    I’ve installed the Social plugin from Mailchimp on the blog, mostly because I’ve seen a few mentions of it recently and was curious to see it at work. The idea of pulling in replies to a blog post that appear on Twitter and Facebook seems like something worth checking out. I’m not ready to ditch…
