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.

Can I Save My Blog?

You can save all, including the comments and posts, but excluding the template, by Exporting. This could also be viewed as a different form of BACKUP. I've only done this export/import twice so far, but it seemed pretty easy by just following the instructions under Settings --> Blog Tools.
I used the option that allowed all the posts to be published as they're copied, but apparently you can also NOT do that and later publish them selectively (one by one?).

Just remember that the idea is to
  1. Open the source blog and go to Settings --> Blog Tools --> Export Blog.
  2. You will export the blog posts that you wish to copy to another location such as your own hard-drive, not to a second blog (yet).
  3. Now open the destination blog, which may be empty or not.
  4. Go to Settings --> Blog Tools --> Import Blog of the destination blog.
  5. You will now use Blog Tools to finally Import the posts that were copied above.
More carefully-considered detail can be found at this informative post by Roberto.
