EMERGENCY STEPS

Kick-starting The Blog
1. Refresh (F5) or Ctrl-F5
2. Clear cache (delete temporary Internet files) and cookies in Tools-Internet Options.
3. Add a question mark to the end of your blog's internet address in the address box and see if it will show the latest update. (Can also be done with other people's url's in the address window.)
4. Republish (if in classic Blogger)
5. Reboot
6. Log out and log back in again (may change to an untroubled server)
7. Change browser (IE, Firefox, others)

---Not necessary to do all of these at once!---

Blogger may make problems for some computers about accepting cookies, especially when you are using the new versions of Internet Explorer or Firefox browsers. Difficulties with accepting scripts may be caused by security systems, antivirus programs, firewalls, and some add-ons. Check all your settings.

You may need to change your browser settings, or to list www.blogger.com and blogger.com as "trusted sites" in your Internet Options-Security so that scripting can occur.

Change The Url (Web Address)

Change URL
1. Go to your Dashboard.
2. Click on Settings.
3. Click on Publishing
4. The first box down the page is where you change your portion of the Blogspot url. It is of course subject to availabilty, and they will let you know while you sit there. No long waiting.
5. Scroll down and Save Settings.

If your blog has been in existence for any length of time or if there have been very many links already made to it, you ought not to change it. You may also have to resubmit any forms you've filed with the search engines.

Don't worry about the Archive posts. All of them will be appropriately changed.

END.

  3. I´ve to change my existing blogspot URL. I know, that I can change it in the blogspot-settings very easily. The problem is, that all of the indexed pages won´t work in the future :-(.

    Do you have any suggestion, what I can do, that I don´t lose all these pages.

    Thanks for your help.

  4. Yes, you understand it well enough. Anyone who has very many pages of any importance can't afford to casually change the url. Nonetheless, everything will eventually be reindexed--maybe a long time, though. If you just created your blog in the past few days, don't worry--but if you created it a month or more ago, I'd say leave the url as it is.
