Will you help me with the blog I have started?

Asked by Dutchess_III (47118points) April 8th, 2014

I used flavors.me. I call it MagicMom.
Anyway, I’m not sure where I’m supposed to write about my stuff. At the top is an “About” tab, and in there is an “Information” option. It instructs one to write a “Short bio or description.” Well, as far as I can tell, that’s the only place there is to write stuff. Of course it isn’t short. What am I missing?

Flavors pulls content from other sources together in one place. It’s not really for posting content directly to.

Maybe tumblr is closer to what you’re looking for? Or wordpress.com? Both good services depending on what you want to post.

From their support documents

Flavors.me provides elegant, easy-to-customize personal homepages, created using content from other services around the web.

Your Flavors site is a gathering place for the content you’ve created, including blogs (e.g. Tumblr, Wordpress), videos (e.g. Vimeo, YouTube), photos (e.g. Flickr, 500px) and more. In less than five minutes, you can pipe all of your social services — like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram etc — into one beautiful site, and go wild tweaking layouts, color palettes and more to your liking.

I would just look and see what others have done. That site appears to be a spot to consolidate all your other social media haunts that allow others to conveniently navigate to from a one stop jumping off place.

Ah. Thanks, guys. Yeah. From what I’m looking at, it doesn’t come up with the most recent entry. If a person wants to read my newest stuff, they have to scroll through all my old stuff first, and that doesn’t seem right.
Back to the drawing board!

Frustrating. I’m trying to create an account in WordPress. Typed in all of my info, but there isn’t a save or continue button. I can’t seem to get past the first page which seems to be one big advertisement for upgrading and paying bookoo bucks…..?

Nevermind. Went to tumblr.

Argh. Still not working right. I had to “like” at least 3 other blogs so I did, at random. Now that’s all I see, are those 3 blogs. I’m at a standstill trying to create MINE.
