URL For Reverting To Blogger Profile

This only works for 30 days after converting to the Google+ profile but it is a good link to have, just in case. http://www.blogger.com/revert-profile.g Mishka Official Blog*Star/Blogger TC Testing Blogger

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...

Reference For Picasa WebAlbum Clarification

From Phil (Picasa TC) This is my understanding: - the limit per Blogger album used to be 500 a long time ago - the limit per Blogger album is now 1,000 and the same as regular Picasaweb albums The reality of how it works today. - Let's say you currently have 999 photos in the album. If you are now uploading two photos then only one photo will be placed in the existing album but you will get an error as the new album will not be created for the second photo. How do I know? I tested it tonight by copying hundreds of photosfrom other blog albums into my test blog. It seems it cannot load to the existing album and also create a new album in the same posting. This is important to know. - Now assuming you have exactly 1,000 photos in the existing Blogger album and you upload one photo (maybe more too) the uploaded photo will be placed in a new Blogger album. That works as expected. I just tested that too and saw the new album in picasaweb.. Now on Mobile posting. - some time ago I ...

Side by Side Images Option

Image
Just thought this might be helpful to know. Images have to be small enough to fit side by side or then sizing comes into play. If you want to put the images side by side, simply put them all under the same div tag Remove all break tags. Space was added to div tag. Mishka Official Blog*Star/Blogger TC Testing Blogger
