Help! I have floating Zemanta boxes on my blog (http://palamas.blogspot.com/)! People are having trouble reading what's there. How can I remove the floaters?
Thanks
My WordPress account has been suspended for no apparent reason. After checking the WP forums, they commonly suspend blogs for advertising/excessive linking and so on. Seeing that Zemanta adds a link to its site every time a blog post is zemified, I think that that's what may have caused it. I'm very distraught as I've been blogging for 2 years and nearly 500000 hits.
I would like to have the tags Zemanta is using for a reference able to be manually removed or add to. Sometimes Zemanta is not "getting what I am playing down" so I usually add keywords to my blog that I remove after it finds stuff for me.
Also - the same it true for extra words. I use a friends name "nick" all the time and it tends to give me nickelodeon stuff. Same with Google - if you add that...you get all google stuff. If I could remove tags Zemanta is indexing - that would be very cool.
to go together with this change we also updated our scripts. If Zemanta won't work for you anymore with new wordpress.com; Clear Firefox cache, restart and try again. If it still doesn't work reply in this thread and we'll try to catch the bug.
So far I think this is awesome. But I'm not totally clear on how to use the "suggested links" button. Should I have the word highlighted in the blog text already? Suggested images works great, it puts an image at the top of the posting. I'd like to be able to have it be put where I want but that's easy to move.
What I'm doing now is following the link to a separate tab, then copying the link, then pasting it in. I use blogger and Firefox 2.0.x and my blog is http://nonnotablenatterings.blogspot....
If there is some helps, I missed it, I read the FAQ but it wasn't there. You may want to add a link on the site to where docs are :) So far I love this tool, it rocks so consider this a quibble!
i've installed zemanta extension on firefox 2.0.0.13 on my mac and I tried to use it with a hosted installation of wordpress version 2.3.1 but it still disabled when i logged into the admin and start to write a post.
Part of blogging is to have unique content - I think it would be very useful to be able to personalize the link suggestions, e.g. ability to let zemanta factor in selected blogrolls, favorite sites, tags, ... and any other way to let the suggested links get a personal flavour
e.g. a bit like google custom search engine (sample of mine here http://tinyurl.com/2ooshw

I love your product, I was thinking about writing my own WP extension just yesterday. I was happy to see in the FAQ that you are working on having the users own content come up.
There should be a preference to have a users own content come up first. As you probably know, linking to ones past posts helps to increase hits (more ads loaded) and keeps a visitor on your site longer. If theres a preference to enable or disable this preference that would be nice.
Also I don't understand why when a company name is typed a link to wikipedia is suggested instead of to that company's official site. Wikipedia is usually linked to reference something like a concept, a historial reference or sometimes a person. Like today I sent a link to my friend on Wikipedia about.mobi. So if you could have a preference where it uses official sites instead of wikipedia entries that would be good.
You definitely have to enhance the images feature, There should be a more icon or button to view the next 9 images or something, Not satisfied with this. If your concern is too much loading time, having a button would solve that, it would only affect those who want to see more image results.
If you like my suggestions, hire me! Where are you guys located?
Hi, I am Jai from Blogohblog.com . After installing the extension, I cannot minimize or maximize the Zemanta toolbar on the right side of my wordpress post editor. What is wrong ?
Its ingenious that you will collect the info and make the app smarter over time (by collecting user data from their posts, right?).
If I am writing a private message on my blog, which I intend to password protect, will that entry somehow get keylogged? It would be nice to know exactly what information you are capturing.
Aside from what happens in my blog's editor page I wonder if you are you capturing anything else i.e. other websites I visit?
