If you belong to any group blogs here on Amplify, chances are you have run into the “where did THAT post” situation. I am here to share two quick tips for making sure things go where you mean them too.
First, When you post a clip, check to make sure the right blog is selected in the list to the right of your clip’s title. In general, it will default to the last blog you were looking at. If you were viewing a group blog, it will show that instead of your blog. (See the screenshot in the clip below.) To change where your clip is going to post, use the drop down to select your blog, not the one Amplify chose for you.
Second: If you are posting from the “What’s on your mind” box on your news feed, you need to change the drop down below the box. (See this screenshot http://screencast.com/t/YTUwNjk3Mm ) Again, it picks from where you posted most recently first.
Bonus: When you do post to the wrong place, don’t worry too much. You can always move your stuff. Edit the piece and use that same drop down list to change the location from where it posted automatically to where you want it to post.
One word of warning: If you change the posting location, make sure you check the autopost list. It will populate based on the blog you choose, but it doesn’t always keep what you think it should.
Hope this helps… I will update this piece with screencasts when I can….
If I can ever stop coughing long enough to record a screencast, I will post more details on this over on the beginners group.24 mins ago1 Reply
Go to the actual post and edit it (there is a link at the bottom of the post. Once you are in edit mode, go to the right hand column and change the place where the item will be posted. Save the changes.
Cool, huh? Suppose I should add this to my list of pieces to screencast for the beginners blog….1 sec agoReply
