Can You Tell A Story In…

I’m also back with my five-word story challenge. Another big thank you to Lance Greenfield for looking after my challenges over the last few months.

My word for this week is:

POST

So can you tell a story in five-words, using the word POST in it somewhere. I’m really looking forward to reading your stories.

    Note to fellow contributors:
    I can’t ‘like’ anybody else’s comments on Esther’s blog, whereas I can do so on other blogs. Does anyone know why. Is it a WordPress setting that Esther needs to change on her own blog?

    1. That is strange. Are you on computer or mini computer (phone)? I’m in phone and I can like everyone else’s posts!

      1. try looking via a browser on both. Browsers can tend to be more reliable than the apps. If you are using browser, try the apps.

      2. Perhaps it is something to do with my own settings.

      3. I don’t know. Have you asked google?

      4. We have worked out the solution to the problem. There is a setting in WordPress which enables liking of comments on your posts. I guided Esther to making the change on her blog and it works. I can now ‘like’ comments on her blog.
        If your followers are encountering the same problem and you are interested in the solution, here it is.
        1. Login to WordPress.
        2. Click on ‘My Sites’ in the top left corner.
        3. From the menu, choose Tools -> Marketing.
        4. Click on the ‘Sharing Options’ tab.
        5. At the top, you’ll see ‘Comment Likes’
        6. Enable ‘On for all posts’

    3. I can ‘like’ comments if I go through this link: https://wordpress.com/read/feeds/10756820/posts/3756222055
      But not when I go through what I see as the proper blog link: https://esthernewtonblog.wordpress.com/
