Hello peeps.
Blogs on Fetch have always been (I hope) a place to share the stuff that's going on in your life. They're somewhat shielded from the eyes of the outside world, because one has to be a logged in Fetchie to read them. And even then, you can restrict things further to make your entries available to buddies only, or just for your eyes only. Double-oh my goodness!
My blog is different, because most of the time I'm talking about what's happening on the site. What do they call them these days? Effluencers?
Anyway, my blog is open to all so that I can share it.
But for a while now, I've thought it would be good to give you the option to share stuff that you've written with a wider audience, without having to go to the trouble of explaining how they get a Fetch account, and where they go after that, and so forth.
I wanted it to be something that you could do selectively - so that amazing race blog you've written, or that write up of how you mastered Russian whilst learning the tuba during lockdown - or whatever you want to share - you can do so now.
Look for the green sharing button next to each entry in your blog. Click that, and it'll mark that entry as freely shareable, and give you a URL that you can bung into your social media bucket of choice. It'll even put it into your paste buffer for you. And there's an undo button if you want to turn it off again.
Give it a try if you like. And if you've got nothing to share, there might be a suitable challenge in tomorrow's calendar. Or there might not. No spoilers
EDIT: PS it doesn't matter what your blog settings are. If you choose to share a specific entry, the link will work.
