WordPress.com announcement: Like a Post? Well Then, “Like” It!

Yesterday When I logged to my wordpress blog account I saw the following announcement under my dashboard.

WordPress.com announcement: Like a Post? Well Then, “Like” It!

I checked the that link and I got the news about like button. When I checked the post in my blog then I am able to see the like button under my each post.

Note: This functionality is enabled with self hosted wordpress blogs.

What features Like button is having?

A ‘like’ button will be present at the end of every blog post, similar to the feature on social networking site, Facebook. If a viewer ‘likes’ a post, the author can browse through the blog profile of the viewer. This is designed to promote interaction between bloggers who share similar ideas and interests.

When you “like” a post two core things happen. First, the blog post’s author sees your “like” and can click-through to your Gravatar profile. Second, clicking “like” saves the post in your homepage dashboard (in the “Posts I Like” section), so you can share it with others, or just keep it around for future reference. If you’re interested in keeping track of how many likes your own blog posts are receiving, there’s a new “like count” column on the “Posts > Edit Post” screen. This will show you the total like count on each of your posts, right next to the total comment count.

We’re hoping this will be an awesome new way to discover other interesting bloggers, and start new conversations with people who — literally! — like you. If you haven’t updated your Gravatar profile yet, now would be a great time to upload a picture, a link to your blog, and any other details. Editing your profile is easy, just remember that all of your profile information is public.

If you dont want to show the like button then follow the bellow steps

If you’d prefer not to display likes on any of your blog posts we’ve provided an option to turn them off under “Appearance > Extras.” You can still enable or disable likes selectively on individual posts through the “Show likes on this post” checkbox when editing or writing a new post.

I love the wordpress they are keep adding very interesting stuff in wordpress blogs.

Phone blogging is future of WordPress

Matt is announced the new feature of wordpress which is phone blogging by wordpress. This is really great news for bloggers. In future you can write post by phone.

 

Phone blogging is future of WordPress

The future is now, folks. You can now go to your My Blogs tab, enable Post by Voice, and get a special number and code to call your blog. After you’re done, the audio file from your phone call will be posted to your blog for all to listen to and enjoy. (And added to your RSS feed for podcast support.)

So now you can post to your WordPress via the web, email, iPhone, Android, Blackberry, desktop clients, and now any telephone in the world. Of course when you post it can be pushed to Facebook, Twitter, and more using the Publicize feature. What more could you want?

Right now this is completely free, but we’ll charge you money to take down posts. Just kidding! We’re making it free and allowing recording lengths up to sixty minutes, but that limit may go down without a paid upgrade in the future. Mostly we’re just curious to see how people use this.

Post by Voice is a way to publish audio posts to your blog from your phone. You call a phone number, enter a secret code, record a message, and we handle the rest.

Enable Post by Voice

In order to use Post by Voice you need to enable the feature on your blog and generate a secret code. The secret code is unique to you and your blog so it is important to keep it secret.
