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.

Show No "About Me"

Show no "About Me",
Show only the "View My Complete Profile".

1. Go to the Layout section.
2. Click on Add Page Element.
3. Add it, if absent, or click on Edit Profile.
4. Click on Share my profile.
5. Do not click on About Me.
6. You may want to unclick the Show Location. If unsure, worry about it later.

This should allow most of the About Me to remain unseen, while your readers still have the View My Complete Profile to click on.

Header Picture Code

Unscrambling Blogger photo code for Header picture code

Blogger's picture icon is good for regular pictures in the post or in the sidebar, but it's overdone for the purpose of putting a photo in your header. You don't need both large and small versions for the header.

What Blogger may give you when you upload the photo to a post (Save it, but don't Publish it!) will resemble this:

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK964LoyVwbgYcXUuPmmhZTyrnshzaFGdjgHZ5m-7Uv2H2nHox1yD2RhUWfFodQnxzt5LZFZIPiRQJSoNLmqHKbB28VvG3bUhb4FKapq_RJbHIc2af9W5NmFlWPuhvBhD_5jsAuWQHVos/s1600-h/dgblues.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5025971925707284738" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK964LoyVwbgYcXUuPmmhZTyrnshzaFGdjgHZ5m-7Uv2H2nHox1yD2RhUWfFodQnxzt5LZFZIPiRQJSoNLmqHKbB28VvG3bUhb4FKapq_RJbHIc2af9W5NmFlWPuhvBhD_5jsAuWQHVos/s400/dgblues.jpg" border="0" /></a>

What you would need to extract is this:

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK964LoyVwbgYcXUuPmmhZTyrnshzaFGdjgHZ5m-7Uv2H2nHox1yD2RhUWfFodQnxzt5LZFZIPiRQJSoNLmqHKbB28VvG3bUhb4FKapq_RJbHIc2af9W5NmFlWPuhvBhD_5jsAuWQHVos/s1600/dgblues.jpg

If you didn't notice on your own, the difference between the red code at the top and the red code above this paragraph is that the -h has been deleted after S1600.



SMALL IMAGE: The url contained in the blue text (marked S400) is the smaller of the images and will need no correction--just the code, such as this, shown above:

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK964LoyVwbgYcXUuPmmhZTyrnshzaFGdjgHZ5m-7Uv2H2nHox1yD2RhUWfFodQnxzt5LZFZIPiRQJSoNLmqHKbB28VvG3bUhb4FKapq_RJbHIc2af9W5NmFlWPuhvBhD_5jsAuWQHVos/s400/dgblues.jpg

Assuming that the S400 is actually small and not just less than the large one, you could enter that code, as shown, into the Photo Url as your Profile Photo.


END.

Team Blog

To create a Team, aka private, blog
1. From Dashboard, click on Settings.
2. Click on Permissions.
3. Under your own name, you will see Add Authors.
4. Add the new members' email addresses, separated by a comma. Each member will have to accept his/her invitation.
5. You can select below that just Who can read your blog. I know it'll do 5 or 6 at a time, but what the limit may be in that box is unknown to me.

If you want to make one or all of the team members administrators, just click on the word "guest"; it's like a toggle and will change to "administrator".

When you're through, make sure to click on the correct choice below as to who can read your blog. Click one of the three options and you're done.

If you've recently changed your blog from public to private, but it seems like it HASN'T changed yet, you may need to see this POST ABOUT PRIVACY.
ALSO: There is an overall limit of 100 persons that you can have on a private/team blog.

END.
