hi again, it's been 2 weeks now since I've contacted WordPress to find out why they banned me, and haven't heard back from them. I guess they're simply too busy!

I have started using Zemanta again occasionally, and thus far no problems. So it must have been something else that caused their banning me. Anyway, all good now.

Likely a scroll function with 20 or 30 more photos to call up. We can't expect software to figure out good pics for us. Likely the descriptions arn't good enough.

Jure Cuhalev replied 9 days ago to the idea "getting more picture suggestions" in Zemanta:

Ok, we'll figure out something.

We probably need three things:
- manual commons image selection
- manual flickr image selection
- manual keyword entry for subsequent zemanta search

While this is more manual stuff that we'd like, it seems like a good fallback when our magical matching doesn't work perfectly.

I'll draw a few wireframes for this and see how fast we can put this into production. No timelines yet thou.

A comment on the idea "getting more picture suggestions" in Zemanta:

We can always find a better service, if your too busy. I'd pay for a service that did the job right. With features such as pre-approve and automatic posting, tagging, and other valuable features. Zemanta is currently holding my business back. – SkyWriting, 9 days ago

Lar replied 10 days ago to the idea "getting more picture suggestions" in Zemanta:

Just to be clear, after using this for the better part of a month, I do find that sometimes the pictures suggested just make no sense. I've taken to actually starting a new post JUST to stuff keywords into it that i think are likely to get me the pic I want, and then copying the markup over.That's a hack. I really would like to just be able to give the URL of a pic on commons and have it be "zemified" (I know Commons well enough to be able to find good pics a lot... but I hate the way Blogger's markup looks compared to Zemanta's...)

I'm with Lar. Either plug my own keyword in, or a cancel for new set of pics. I'll find something if I get more choices.

Your thinking categories. Tags are much looser associations.

John Munro replied 14 days ago to the question "Strange suggestions" in Zemanta:

Well I can see how it went Salinger - Chapman - Lennon, but I don't think the suggestions were appropriate to the post, because neither Chapman or Lennon were mentioned.

I guess I'm expecting the suggested tags to relate to the main topic of the post and other mentioned topics.

I had the same thing when I added "James Bond" to a post ( http://www.wizardstower.co.uk/blog/20... )

All of the picture and most of the related article sugestions changed to Bond stuff even though that's not what the rest of the post was about

We pushed an update that should fix the Blogger loading issue. We'd be happy to hear if it works for you.

lenina replied 25 days ago to the problem "WordPress Suspension - due to Zemanta?" in Zemanta:

yes, I've already contacted them, but haven't heard back. Will use their support form to try again, and will let you know :)

Andraz Tori replied 25 days ago to the problem "WordPress Suspension - due to Zemanta?" in Zemanta:

Can I please ask you again: please contact WP so the issue gets a clarification from them?

We would like this cleared up, so no shadow of doubt remains.

Can you please help us?

lenina replied 25 days ago to the problem "WordPress Suspension - due to Zemanta?" in Zemanta:

it simply didn't work (I blogged about how it happened here, including screenshot: http://intellr.wordpress.com/ ). Apparently they don't ever notify you of the decision when they suspend an account - they just do it! I think it's shocking and I'm still a bit annoyed with them now.

edit: hence I'm wary to use Zemanta, if this is what did indeed cause it. I'm sure it didn't, as otherwise other people would have reported the same problem. However I would feel more confident if someone could definitely confirm it.

Jure Cuhalev replied 25 days ago to the problem "WordPress Suspension - due to Zemanta?" in Zemanta:

Did you get a notification about suspension or it just didn't work? Because in the second case it just might be a technical issue on their side.

lenina replied 25 days ago to the problem "WordPress Suspension - due to Zemanta?" in Zemanta:

I've just returned from a business trip where I was unable to check. Hadn't contacted WP yet, but it's working again! Not sure why - did you speak to them? I just want to make sure it doesn't happen again, so I won't in fact use Zemanta till I know for sure...

thanks

To everyone watching this thread. We manage to reproduce this in our systems also and we are working on a fix. Hopefully it should not take us more than a day or two.

Ryo replied 25 days ago to the question "Blogger.com doesn't load Zemanta extension" in Zemanta:

I got problems with the new Version, too.
I must [alt]-reload sometimes more than 8 times to see the box. Otherwise, i only see an empty yellow box. OS X 10.5.2 / FF 2.0.0.13

John replied 25 days ago to the question "Blogger.com doesn't load Zemanta extension" in Zemanta:

I haven't been able to get Zemanta to load since installing the new version. All I see is an empty orange box. (I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.14 with Mac OS 10.4.11.)
