In case you're wondering what Blogger is talking about. It's the page where you can move and arrange the page elements (especially the ones for the sidebar) as you would like them to be. Place your cursor on the boxes after you create an element, hold the mouse left-click down as you move the mouse.

Future-Dating A Post -- NEW!
| Create the illusion of "being there".! |
|---|
| Future Dating of posts is now available from Blogger Click here to see Blogger's instructions about it! Now you can leave some posts lined up when you are about to leave on vacation or for a month in jail and they will publilsh, one or more every day, while you're absent. I have only just read about this myself, but so many people have inquired about this for the past five years that I suppose a lot of people will now praise the lord and send their checks (as usual) to the nation's poor. There doesn't appear to be any difficult moves added to the process. It just works the way many of us used to think would just be logical. One could always use the POst Options to change the date to anything you liked, but there was no automatic publishing--you always had to hit the publish "button". 1. Give a date and time in Post Options for tomorrow, next week, or whenever 2. Then hit Publish, 3. The system will show a sign that says the post will be automatically published on X date at X time. 4. the system will wait until that date and time to publish it. Couldn't be simpler, unless they screw it up. If they screw it up, let me know. |

Strikethrough Code
| Once in a while someone knows about the strikethrough tag without knowing what its called or how to utilize it, so here is the strikethrough tags: <strike>TEXT</strike> I don't see any way to do this in Compose Mode, so you have to switch to the Edit Html Mode in order to do it. At times people don't know the exact word that's involved in this and may say "cancel" or some other similar word. |

Line-Height
Below is not a solution to why line-height may arbitrarily change in your posts, but it is a fix. When that line-height change happens, try the following for the post text:
| <div style="line-height: 18px;">TEXT</div> |
You may need a different number (of px) to match your own blog post, so see how it adjusts with larger and smaller numbers. .
You could avoid the aggravation of typing it each time by putting the code above in the Settings-Post Template and it would be inserted for you already in each new post—then you can either use, delete, or ignore it.

Body (Or Background) Color
The background color for your blog is not located with the other color changes in "Fonts and Colors". Oddly enough, to change the blog's background color requires going into the template--you'd think it would be among the other clickable changes. Some new bloggers may not like the idea of revising the template code, but eventually you will want something bad enough to dare! When the time comes for this change, look for a section resembling this from one of my blogs:
body {
background:oldlace; url("xxxhttp://www.blogblog.com/harbor/rocks.jpg") no-repeat right bottom;
background-attachment:fixed;
margin:0;
padding:0;
font:x-small Georgia, Serif;
color:$textcolor;
font-size/* */:/**/small;
font-size: /**/small;
}
or, similarly, this from the code for this blog:
body {
background:#123;
margin:0;
text-align:center;
line-height: 1.5em;
font: x-small Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Arial, Sans-serif;
color:$mainTextColor;
font-size/* */:/**/small;
font-size: /**/small;
}
It's the "body" where you want to make the change or else create the color. Find or alter the color statement--whether you use a number or name doesn't matter. If you have to add the "background: color;", just be sure it's inside the brackets like you see in the two examples above.
