This might help to organize the blogs you are interested in.

If you have a WordPress account, you can use the reader function to keep a working list of the blogs you are interested in following.

Attached is a screen shot of my WordPress reader page.

Thank you for that David! Very helpful, adding all blog sites to it right now.

I've been using Feedily because I have other blogs I follow so it was easy to add the Symbiostock blogs but I'll check out the WP option too. It might be easier to have them all in one place.

I have a blog and after I get done with uploading I'll pay more attention to it. The blog on my SY site will just be for updates related to it but this one has everything I do on it.

Not much on it but that'll change once the dust settles.

I warn you ahead of time that until the SY Page of Posts bug gets fixed, your blog is going to be a bit of a mess. I have nearly 60 posts and they are all on the same page. SY doesn't recognize the 6 posts per page limit. I know Leo is working on it, and I don't want to keep bringing it up, but I'm not sure it's worth a lot of effort blogging until the bug gets tracked down.

Thanks, I hadn't heard about this bug before. I've been racking my brain trying to figure out why all of my posts show up on the same page even though I'd set it in settings to only show max 3 posts. At this point my previous blog posts were all video related and each had two or three videos embedded. Imagine how long it takes to load a page containing 15 or more blog posts with a total of 30+ videos. At least this saves me the time of trying to look for a fix.

Just set a "Read more" tag after a short intro text to direct the viewers to the full content page. This way you will only have teasers on the blog roll page. When somebody wants to read the full article then he can click the headline of the post to get to it.

Yeah I do something similar on my main Front page. If I have a new blog article to highlight, I manually create an entry on my front page giving a summary type preview of the post, and then "Read More" to click to the full post. But that doesn't save the Page of Posts problem, which unfortunately people will find and attempt to read. I've considered taking down my link to the Page of Posts, but I don't want to eliminate the links to the posts themselves and cause Google to wonder why they are "hidden".

Another frustration is that the popular Taxonomy Related Posts plug-in just doesn't work with Symbiostock. If you want to keep people on your website, then after they finish reading a post they are interested in, you show them related material that they can click to. I use that plug-in on all my blogs, but it won't work with SY. I have found that people visit 40% to 50% more pages with the Related Posts than without it.

Update - I was able to get Related Posts to show up in the Footer. Not exactly what I wanted but it will have to do for now.

I have just added a new blog - might make a useful read for those who have not seen this yet

Well.. I have a few, but this is the closest one http://imagerion.com/ see you there

Kerioak~Christine · « **Reply #39 on:** September 06, 2013, 12:17 »

I missed this one when it was posted - maybe we should all add it to our signature links as it is sensible and has lots of useful links attached

Great read, little tip, I personally like justified textlay out. It looks cleaner imo. Cheers

LesPalenik · « **Reply #43 on:** October 17, 2013, 18:00 »

Thanks, Ron. Due to my limited knowIedge of Wordpress, I have always used just the left justified text.
How do you specify the full text justification?
