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.

Using The Blogger Flag And Unflag

Things have changed, apparently, since I wrote everything below. Now, if you click on "Flag", you'll be sent to this site about TOS (terms of service) violations. It doesn't appear that the Flag and Unflag work as set forth below!

If you wish a preview of the TOS list, you can see a picture of the page at my blog on this post

See Blogger's own explanation of the Flag at this link.

There are times that spammers or hackers may have removed the entire Navbar, including the Flag. Below is a way to "click" the Flag, anyway!

First, copy and paste into address bar:

javascript:toggleFlag();

Then you can hit Enter. You're done. Don't expect any indication that it worked. But maybe it'll do you some good.


About Your Site Getting Flagged
No small number of Flags against you (by yourself or others) amount to anything, otherwise smartass adolescents could go through and do to hundreds of blogs what they do when they first discover the telephone. Blogger is aware of pranksters. If a noticeable number (hundreds or thousands) of flags were to occur (according to unstated Blogger policies), maybe then you'd get a notice. So don't worry unless you are notified by Blogger.

Hide Navbar?

FOR CLASSIC (OLD) BLOGGER
How to hide the Blogger Navbar at the top and why not to:

Hide Navbar!

http://blogger-tricks.blogspot.com/2006/04/tip-hiding-navbar.html


OR FOR NEW BLOGGER
The css is defined between

<b:skin><![CDATA[/*

and

]]></b:skin>
</head>

So put the following 5 lines of code in the css:

#navbar-iframe {
height:0px;
visibility:hidden;
display:none
}

before:

]]></b:skin>

Despite references above or arguments against it, I no longer recommend caution about hiding the Navbar because Blogger has no right to inflict the violence or pornography that Next Blog sometimes inflicts on users. They should make that aspect of the Navbar optional for us so that schools, churches, and old ladies of every kind can choose not to play if they don't want to.
