Re-blogging is one of those capabilities which I’ve known about for a long time but just never got around to seeing the value of. However, recently I have started using it and sit in seeing the value of it in terms of solving some particular circumstances. This not hard to do particularly if you’re using WordPress, which does most of the heavy lifting when you reblog.
In my case, re-blogging has made it possible for me to write content once and publish it to one of my other blogs when that content happens to cross boundaries between the subjects of both blogs. This re-blogging approach is really nice because it allows me to write the article once and perhaps been a little more time on it, and then use it in more than one place which for me has always been a bit of a dilemma across my multiple blogs.
Another nice aspect of re-blogging is that if someone chooses to view your post on that re-blog site, then the re-blog post serves as a pastor will send them to the originating site.
The word press re-blogging button and process also takes care of etiquette features of giving credit to the originating site, as well. Which is great if you’re reposting someone else’s content from within WordPress.
What is reblogging?
Re-blogging really is a method of sharing or pushing content through re-publishing directly to a different blog site. Within WordPress, it might be another blog which you own, or it could be sharing the content that someone else published that you think is valuable to your readers.
How to reblog?
Re-blogging with WordPress is relatively easy, once you get used to the interface, which I find a little confusing. Assuming you have enabled reblogging on your blog site then, basically, re-blogging involves the steps of re-blogging your own content:
- First, write and publish your blog.
- Then, got the WordPress Reader, click the visit icon
- Next, find the “Reblog” button, which is generally located near your “like” button in the Sharing section of your page.
- In the reblogging dialog window, choose the “Post To” site name to which you want to republish / reblog the post, Add a note if desired, and press the “Reblog Post”.
