Duh. The easiest way to stop hackers is with real passwords.

This linked article really spells it out in simple terms, how much you can do to protect yourself at your end (READ IT!). Obviously, you can only do so much on this side, but why make it easy for hackers by picking stupid passwords to begin with. Cover you own end and then hope and trust that the big institutions that have all our personal info are covering their part like they are supposed to. To realize that 600K Facebook accounts get hacked a day is really scary...this means that a ton of users are using 123456 as their freaking password...and if that is the case, they almost deserve to get hacked. Make your passwords a couple of words, that you can remember using upper and lower case letters, and then substitute in some numbers for some of the letters and throw a symbol or two in there between words...it isn't that hard. On top of that, change your password occasionally...make that computer hack program start from scratch and you won't have to worry. Another smart thing to

Directions For Viewing Feedburner Email Subscription Details

In your Feedburner account, you can see your email subscriptions. Note that once you start using Feedburner, you might also have subscribers through Google Reader and iGoogle and those numbers are reflected in the total number of subscribers (so it isn't just email when you see the number for your blog). Once you are on your Feedburner account, click on the blog in question, then on Publicize Tab and then Email Subscriptions, then Subscription Management, scroll to the bottom and you can click on View Subscriber Details.

Answer Text For Template Designer Malfunction

Just thought I would post this here to use for later. Make sure to back up your template before making any changes. You need to have the mobile template enabled before trying these fixes...and if you are using Amazon Affiliates, you can't use the mobile template and still be meeting their TOS requirements. NOTE: If you do not have the mobile template enabled at the beginning of this process, I highly recommend trying to enable it, and then just trying to reinstall your current template (from the backup you made a few minutes ago)....this might keep you from having to do all your customizations over again if it just the mobile template issue causing your problem. We have been told that this is due to customizations in your blog template that are conflicting with the platform and causing the template designer to malfunction. There are several options for clearing this up, some only have to do a few, and some need to do all and more to get it working again. 1. Use the rem

Background Image Work Around HTML

This is a reference post for helping users force a template to accept a new background while the platform is broken. Obviously some of the values might be different due to settings for the background and spaces put in to make this show would have to be removed, but this at least gives me a spot to look for in the template. < Variable name ="body.background" description = "Body Background" type = "background" color = "#EEEEEE" default = "$(color) none repeat scroll top left" value = "#ffffff url( http://i564.photobucket. com/albums/ss90/yoboy7/ mastercopy-1.png ) no-repeat fixed top center "/> Mishka Official Blog*Star/Blogger TC Testing Blogger

FAQ: Spam Appeal Guidelines Updated January 2013

This thread should be started by the owner of the blog marked as spam and will only apply to that original poster. If you are another user and have this problem with your blog, you need to start your own thread so that we can send in the review individually. Spam Appeal Guidelines: Given the fact that automated spam detection is not yet a perfect science, the Blogger Team is happy to investigate any reports of false positive spam reviews, posted here in the forum. That being said, before you request an appeal, it's worth describing a few examples of what Blogger regularly removes, as part of its zero tolerance policy to abusive / inappropriate content: - Affiliate marketing. - Content created wth scripts and programs, rather than by hand. - Content scraped from other sources. - Copyright Infringement (using photos of people without their permission) - Content or links referencing GPT, PTC, PTS, 'Make money from home', 'Make money fast', or other referral-based activ
