Chadi Nassar | 29 comments Hello guys!

I am sorry if this has been asked before, and if it has, please refer me to the post of where to deal with this issue since I could not find anything.

I am trying to export my goodreads blog (still very new to everything goodreads, I know... I know...) and I can't seem to be able to do so. Not even through amazon author central which I thought would be the easiest one to do...

I also need to put in in a wix webpage I've created for myself as an author.

So to clarify, I need to export my goodreads blog (I assume the whole feed through an rss URL) to both amazon author central AND wix webpage.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Jan Notzon | 221 comments Oh, Chadi, I wish I could help, but with my (lack of) skills I'd lead you to disaster.
Go to [email protected]. They're extremely helpful.

Thanks Jan!

I will also send them the same info. I just thought maybe someone got it figured out.

Cool books btw, will look them up now ;)

Yes, you just use the rss URL. Believe me, it took me a minute to do myself. But if i can do it, you can.

Lol thanks Barbara, may I know where you found it? I would love to just blog on goodreads about author/book/reading related stuff and have it appear both on my amazon author page and my personal wix website...

Thank you very much. Looking it up now :)

Sorry i was offline for a bit. If you view your blog it will say RSS up by your profile picture. If you click on it you can copy that link from the address bar, or just right click on the RSS and copy link location.

Hello Barbra,

Yup, you and the support both said the same thing! It worked! :)

Thank you all...
Chadi

Gerry (gerrydowndoggmailcom) | 60 comments I was thinking of doing just the opposite: to forward my Goodreads bloggers to my web blog by adding the web blog link on my Goodreads blog.. Does this make sense?

Jan Notzon | 221 comments Makes sense to me. I'd like to do the same thing.


message 12: by Ellen (new)

Ellen Behrens | 17 comments Don't remember how I set it, but when I look at my profile page, my most recent blog posts (I post using Wordpress) show up. There's also a link to one of my blogs under my name next to my picture at the top of the profile page. Take a look at your profile settings -- might be the answer you're looking for.

Joanna Elm | 4 comments Hi Gerry and Jan, no reason not to post a few sentences from your web blog on your GR blog, and then paste in your URL/link to your website. I do it all the time.
Unless of course, I am mistaken that clicking on my link takes readers (other than myself) to my website lol???
You could check it out though by going to my profile page. You'll see what I mean.

Joanna Elm | 4 comments You're welcome, Jan. Thank you for checking out my blog -- and "liking" it.
