The StoryMaster, This morning I wanted to visit "NZ Foods" by Elle - on hiatus . Elle was running a Newsfeed activity in which we were invited to check out her list of New Zealand foods. Her link looked like this: "NZ Foods" I clicked on her link and a page appeared with the message: Access to this item has been blocked by your Content Blocking preference. Override your block and access this area by entering your personal Content Blocking Passcode:: I entered my Blocking Passcode but it did not work. Since I have been down this path before, I knew what I needed to do: 1. I checked the web address and confirmed it was an entry in a book item. 2. I copied the entry ID from the web address. 3. I opened My Notepad and posted {f-entry:1048306} 4. I viewed My Notepad page and saw NZ Foods from The Road To Elle . 5. I clicked on the title of the book and again saw the message: Access to this item has been blocked by your Content Blocking preference. Override your block and access this area by entering your personal Content Blocking Passcode:: 6. I entered my Blocking Passcode and this time I was given access to "The Road To Elle" . 7. I finally scrolled down to "NZ Foods" and was able to read her entry. That is a long round-about way to be able to read a book entry. I have done it many times. I do not care to see GC or XGC content but alot of folks set their book items to GC when they don't really need to. When I "know" the person, I will take a chance and visit their book/blog. One time, it was a mistake I may never fully recover from but usually (like today) it was fine. I am now wanting to try New Zealand's Ginger slice (also known as ginger crunch)... In the future, I would really like to be able to enter my Blocking Passcode and go directly to the entry. StoryMaster, can you make that happen? I am not sure how hard it would be but I would be delighted if you could grant this wish! I hope you are doing well. You are in my thoughts and prayers. ------- ruwth Ideas, Ideas, Ideas... |
