what’s up with LinkedIn and WordPress?

Apr 02, 2009 Published under social media, web stuff, WordPress

A couple of months ago LinkedIn proudly announced the introduction of LinkedIn Applications and when I saw WordPress was listed I immediately decided to import the feed of Piet Bos dot ME into my LinkedIn profile.

When I launched the Eat In Valencia website I changed the feed to import posts from that website into my LinkedIn profile.

But today I all of a sudden discovered that now only feeds of WordPress.com can be imported, no longer from the self-hosted blogs/websites at WordPress.org.

Therefore I have decided to give myself yet another online web presence at WordPress.com: pietbos.wordpress.com.

  • I don’t think that’s correct, I’m using it in my LinkedIn Profile and it is from self hosted wordpress solution. Hope this helps

    Hi Ollie,
    Thanks for your comment.
    Yeah, I found it quite weird myself too, but I cannot show any of my websites there anymore, just my new wordpress.com site.
    Very weird, will look into it some more…

    Checked it again and the message I’m getting says “Sorry, we can’t find a WordPress blog at this address.” which obviously is utterly weird!
