How To Query Blogger Help Group

Five Helpful Tips On "BHG" Protocol

1. Give your URL (blog address). 2. GIVE DETAILS: State the specifics of your problem or question. Are you Classic or New (Beta) Blogger? Do not speak in a telegraphic style or assume we know all the latest abbreviated jargon--we have time here for ordinary language. 3.THREADS (Conversations) A. Don't pile onto a long thread if your issue is not the same. "Start a new topic," as it says at the top of the Blogger Help Group page. You'll get more results. B. However, don't start a new thread if you want to say "I have the same problem as him or her!" Place your message on the same thread so it'll stay there! Threads can change sequence because newly posted or updated ones go to the top of the group--thus causing your separate, abandoned thread to make less sense. C. Don't repeat your message in every category of this forum; it just makes things messy. If you're not a jerk, stay on one thread until the end of the conversation. If you are a jerk, just hang on until I have time to kill you. 4. REACHING BLOGGER: It cannot be emphasized too much that you should get your plea for help (if any) filed with Blogger Support now, soon, so that when and if they send you those damn automated responses, you can start writing back to them asking for human help! Be persistent, not rude. 5. DELETE YOUR MESSAGE: If you find that you put your query in the wrong category and want to put the message in a different category, or if you just realized you've asked a jackass question, or for whatever reason, YOU CAN DELETE the first posting. a. Click "More Options" in the upper right-hand corner above the question. b. Click on the "Remove" option. c. Then click on "Yes, Remove it now". d. Then click "Confirm".

Blogs Don't Really Delete

Deleting blogs is a misnomer. Deleting your blog is problematic. Spam bloggers can jump on it (probably via robots) as soon as you "delete" it. Somehow Blogger's procedures allows them not only to grab your old address, but in many cases keep the content (posts) as well! Your writing then is used as "cover" or "bait" for the lazy-ass spammers; they keep your blogful of content alive, for their gain. (They may steal your content by pulling up a cached version of your blog on the web.) Even if none of that happens to you, Google caches (for instance) will not let your dead horse be buried. Cached versions linger on for long periods, so that you haven't really made it "disappear" utterly.

If I wanted to delete one of my blogs, I'd replace the content with a single dummy (aka "stub") post, one that just exists, that doesn't say much. Maybe it could say "Oink!" or some other favorite message of your own. I'd leave it like that, hoping that further Google rides across the Internet to Cache everything would then cache my dummy post.

I can't help but think Blogger may someday deal with the spammers so that Bloggers can delete without such worries. However, there is no telling how far away that is.

Never underestimate the value of contacting Blogger about such undeleted blogs. I have known them to obliterate all trace of them or to get them back for us, but it is often difficult to get their attention. Contact them at Blogger Support. Be persistent.

When You Can't Delete A Post

Possibly your cache is stuck. Delete your temporary internet files. Sometimes it's even recommended that you delete the cookies. Restart your computer if you have to. Click F5 on your computer and see if it refreshes. Your problem may be with one or all of these.

As long as you do them all, the order in which you try them is not important.

In a hurry?

If you continue to have trouble and need to hurriedly get that post out of sight, you can make it disappear from the readers' view by just going into Edit Post and Save As Draft. A copy will exist, but not among the published posts. You'll have made it disappear.

This is also a handy trick when you just need to see if a particular post is the cause of margin or sidebar problems. Publish the post again to make it visible again, naturally.
