How to connect your social media accounts and blog to bookpo.st
 |  |
Press the Profile icon and scroll to the bottom of the page, where you will find the three social media icons. One each for Instagram, Goodreads, and a blog you might have.
Pressing any of these icons takes you to the edit social media accounts screen. We only need to know the part that's different for each person, so for Instagram you just enter your name, the part in the URL that comes after "https://www.instagram.com/" when you are looking at your profile.
For Goodreads navigate to your profile page and enter the text that comes after "https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/", it's usually some numbers and a dash followed by your nickname.
If you have a blog enter the full URL including the “https://” part.
You don't have to complete them all, you can just enter one of them if you want.

If you aren't sure it's correct, use the “Test” button inside the text box. It will launch that site using the details you entered in a new browser window.
Once you're happy, press "Update my socials" and you're done.
The icons you entered details for will now be pink instead of grey. If someone clicks on them, or you click on the icons on another member's profile you'll be magically transported to their Instagram, Goodreads or blog. Note that on your profile page the icons always open the link editor, for everyone else they act as buttons taking them to your social media accounts.
We will be updating this functionality in future to link fully with the accounts, so your latest post could be displayed, or your to-be-read list of books imported.
