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.

How Beta Check Spelling Should Look

Beta spell check now turns the screen light blue(!) and highlights all suspect words with red. Then you click the words that you might agree are suspect and it offers alternate choices.

There's a place to click "resume editing" when you're through with the spell check. You don't have to click every word.

There's no longer a pop-up involved.

END.

Reverting to Classic From Layout

1. Go into Dashboard.
2. Click on Layout.
3. Click on Edit HTML.
4. At the far left bottom under the template,
5. Click where it says, "Revert to Classic Template."
6. There is also the option below it to "View Classic Template".


[Screenshot of template page below.]



See also Peter's post on reverting or Chuck's post on it.

CAUTION: You will probably lose your page elements if you revert to the Classic template. Although it's possible to then "upgrade" to the Layout template again, you won't get your page elements back. What's lost will probably stay lost.
