I have for years enjoyed sharing, with my readers, posts by other Christian bloggers. It pleased me to think I was widening their audience, and you all seemed very happy about it.
But now I can’t share your posts, and it’s not my fault.
First WordPress took away my Reblog function. Something about “you’re on a business plan, you’re not allowed reblog.” Then I discovered the “Share” button, that little symbol that looks like this >, and as long as I was sharing Christian posts that appeared on my Reader, it was just as good as a reblog.
But yesterday I was told I don’t have “Share” anymore–because the hoozit isn’t shebangled with the booscus and a hay-na-nonny and a ha-cha-cha. Oh, they’d let me have “Share” if I used their brand-new totally-impossible-to-understand “Block Editor.” I’ve seen it. I couldn’t use that if my life depended on it.
I have tried to explain to the WP Happiness Engineers. “This is your technology, not mine. I am just a passenger–and you don’t ask the passenger to come out of the plane and do maintenance on the jet engine. You need to be more user-friendly!” They say they’ll see what they can do, to allow me to Share even if I’m using the standard editing format that I’ve used for years. Betcha if their boss told them to find a way or else, they’d find one. But I’ll be very much surprised if they actually solve my problem for me.
So, guys, that’s why I’m not sharing your posts anymore: I want to, but I can’t. They won’t let me.
All I can do is keep pestering WordPress about it.
Christians are being censored out of the public square. Oh, they don’t do it all at once, just a little at a time. Walter Cronkite used to say it was like “being pecked to death by geese.”
Well, we’re still here. And we have to do our best.
I am being attack on Facebook for sharing the Gospel, times are getting short and the Lord is coming soon, we should not be shock that we will lose our freedom, but God will make a way to share His word
We’re sharing it here as best we can.
P..S.–If the bad guys are attacking you, you must be doing something right.
well said Lee
The Word of God say when you are working for the Lord and your efforts start to pay off, demons recognize you and will .
WordPress is so weird; wouldn’t they want more activities of all sorts on here? Makes no sense
