FAQ: My Blog Looks Different From The Preview

By -
All websites render a bit different. This is because each browser is different, each user has different settings on their systems they are viewing sites with, and their systems themselves are different. All of these factors and combinations of them can cause an infinite number of differences on a website between what one user and another user might see.

This applies to the preview screen as well. There is no way for Blogger to show a preview to each user that would be exactly how the blog post or site will look to everyone. It is just not possible.

This website, however, will give you a chance to check out your blog in several different resolutions and browsers so if you are "tweaking" your site, you can see what works and what doesn't. Those of us that like to design websites or even just troubleshoot them for other users, use this site quite a bit.

Hope you find it useful too.  http://browsershots.org/

Then, you need to start putting links to other sites/blogs on your site and hope that they reciprocate because the more you are linked the better your traffic will become and the better your page ranking with the search engines will become. You can become a member of blogging communities (there are many out there) as well and that will help you ge
