First, make sure that the new blog entry is included in your RSS Feed. Unified Social Media reads your feed to discover new material when it is posted. Your RSS feed is read periodically, so it can take some time before your new post is discovered by our system. You may want to check back later to see if the problem has been resolved.
Second, make sure the link sharing widget is displayed on your website along with your blog posts. If the widget code cannot be found at the url of your new blog entry, your entry will be blocked.
Third, check to see if your widget has been blocked from being distributed. Log in to your account. Click on the ‘Blocked Posts’ link in the ‘My Account’ section. All the posts listed have been blocked from distribution because the widget code could not be found. You can select the posts you would like to un-block and re-check them for the widget code. If the widget code is found, the block will be lifted and your post will be publicized through your network. Be sure to install the widget code so that it displays on your website along with these blog posts.
