Fellow WordPressers! Do you use the Reblog button? Why or why not? It seems like I seldom see it; I’ve never reblogged. Should I give it a try?? Thanks for your feedback! Blog on!
Welcome
Hey! I’m Jason, and this is my personal blog. You’ll find articles and notes about consumer tech, entertainment, photography, and more.
It looks like it’s similar to posting a long quote from a blog and linking back to the original. Seems like a good way to connect up conversations. 🙂 As best I can tell, it’s a WordPress.com feature, which might be why my WordPress.org (self-hosted) blog doesn’t have that button.
In any case, I think quote-posting or reblogging is cool, so long as you don’t copy the entire post. I’be seen bloggers get really testy about that.

Thanks, Cheri. I agree, it looks like a fast/easy specific way to “Share”. I like the etiquette I read about it today; there are good points/counterpoints. I learned that a reblogged post automatically appears in my Posts list in the General category without any tags. I’m still weighing it all. One effect is on my Twitter Retweets, I am thinking of always using the ReTweet with a Comment option… On WP.com, there’s an on/off setting to allow the Reblog button to appear. I think there is a work-around for WP.org.
