While it's true that all community members have the Vivaldi Community entry on the Dashboard, you should also have your own blog there. 🤔

When you first accessed the blogs side, weren't you asked to create a blog?
Also, when you go to https://blogs.vivaldi.net now, do you see a link "Create a blog" below your profile picture? If you do, click on it to start your own blog.

@NetscapeNavigator
We're sorry you had to see these posts that clearly aren't welcome on vivaldi.net and thank you for caring enough to want to report them. 🙂

You'll find a report option below each blog post on its original page.
When you're in WordPress view, you need to click on "Read More" and then on "View Original" to get there.
When you're browsing recent blogs on https://blogs.vivaldi.net/recent-posts/, it'll take just one click on the title or featured image to open the full blog post.

But we go through recent posts at least 2-3 times a week ourselves as well and remove the spam.

@TravellinBob Thanks for taking your time to chime in. Appreciate that!

So it would be better to provide us with an editor via the blog settings, so that we can define and colour text and headline blocks.

I agree.

Reporting will not change anything as the theme authors are not obliged to provide multi-language support.

Bad.
No good idea to provide a WordPress theme with such bad language support.

Yes, it works fine now. Thanks for your help!

@borisbauer
Looks like your blog has already been created.

Visit https://borisbauer.vivaldi.net/ to see it. There (while logged in to your account) click on the blog's title on the black menu bar to get to your blog's dashboard.

Also, when you select "My blog" from the menu on Vivaldi.net, you should be taken to your blog now, instead of the blog creation page.

Visibility is checked. Bing indexes well. I think the cause should be found in the new way that Google indexes sites. Take a look this page: https://www.vincentschmalbach.com/google-now-defaults-to-not-indexing-your-content/

I have noticed a rapid uptick in spam comments as well lately. I think maybe akismet just needs time to "learn" whatever new kind of spam is being sent. It seems to have slowed down now.

This should now be displaying correctly. Thanks for the report.

Thanks, Jane. I'll go ahead and do that. 🙂

I see on my own server that Singapore visitors are mostly vulnerability scans, spammers, Baidu bot, AI bots.

Happened to mine. 63 of them, waiting my "approval". Yeah. Right! (A Kiwi way of saying No Bloody F**ing Way!)
All marked and reported spam. Out of sight but still in my blog spam folder.

Ah well. Now I'm back blogging, I have to get used to doing this from now on.

@Chas4 I totally agree. Also wonder how auto-flagging works for comment spams.

@luetage While setting to allow only approved comments to appear, you'll still have to do manual approval/spam-reporting in your own time. (Or getting Askimet Akismet account, which I'm not sure if I want to do)
