I’m writing this post because it has come to my attention several times by some of my readers that they occasionally wanted to reblog some of my posts but commented that there was no ‘reblog‘ button on my page to share.As readers and writers, we are not all technically gifted and that little button makes it easy to share the blog instantly to your own blog. Unfortunately, when someone owns their own domain, that is, not having their blog on WordPress.com, they aren’t afforded the ability to add a ‘reblog‘ button from the plugins in their dashboards. When I first moved to my own site from WordPress, I had installed a plugin called ‘repost‘ to enable readers to copy my blog post over to their own blog. That button has since become invalid as the owner of the plugin discontinued it, hence I have removed it.

I’m easily confused – but I, too, own my domain and yet I have a reblog button which I know works because I reblog my own older posts all the time – I don’t know how the button got there, but there it is nonetheless – hence my confusion

I own my domain name, Paul, but am still with wordpress.com rather than being self-hosted which is a whole other ball game. It is because of things like this that I choose to stay with WP.com.

I’ve been thinking of self-hosting too, but I’m not sure what’s involved. And right now I’m too tired to even think about it. But maybe when we get back from vacation at the end of January … Maybe then I’ll be less tired?
