Where's My Questions in Blogger Help Group?

Is There A List of Questions?

How do I find ALL the questions I have asked in BHG? Right up there where you just asked that question (when we're in one of Blogger Help Group's conversation "threads"): There's your Forum "name" and to the right of it is a link, "View profile", which will show some biographical info from your BHG Profile and it includes "Recent Activity", which will list every thread (whether 2 or 2000 of them) where you left a question or answer in the past. It is not ideal, but it is complete, and you can slowly go back through them. This may be stating the obvious, but if you're new and feel like you don't have a starting place for this, ask a new question or make a remark and after you publish, you'll be right there to click on "View Profile"!

There are other ways to search, with Google or other search engines, but the method described first up above is the "official" way of locating and reviewing all your old threads.

Subscription List--Google Groups

How Others Subscribe To Your Blog

Go to Create Google Group Create the group for your blog. Once created, click Visit Your Group and at the Home page click "Group Settings", located on the right side of the screen. Find "Get a promotion box for your website" and click it. It will show some code (probably 2 sets) for you to copy. Select the second. Return to your blog. Paste the copied text into an html/javascript page element. Go to your Dashboard. Go to Settings. Click Email tab. Enter the email for your Google Group in Blogsend Address. Click Save Settings. The blog will email the group and the group will email everyone on the list.

Everyone who subscribes will be sent an email copy of each new post, but there are options so you (or other individual subscribers) may select various forms of abridgement instead of the full post. How do you want to read this group? No Email I will read this group on the web Abridged Email (No more than 1 email per day) Get a summary of new activity each day Digest Email (Approximately 1 email per day) Get up to 25 full new messages bundled into a single email Email (Approximately 1 email per day) Send each message to me as it arrives See Change Email Options In Subscription List Of course, Blogger already has a "Subscribe to Posts" link at the bottom of the blog. Many people use that.

Email Notifications--Google Groups

How do I create a group?

1. Go to the Blogger Help Group forum and look in various locations where it says "Create a group". There is one under the Reply under each question. There's one at the bottom of most pages. 2. If you create a group there, you can add multiple email addresses at one time. Be sure to mark them all to recieve all email notifications. 3. You will be given an email address for the Google Group; copy it. 4. Then, in your blog, go to Settings - Email - Blogsend Address. 5. Enter or paste the email address you were given in the Google Group. Save Settings and you should be through.

How To Query Blogger Help Group

Five Helpful Tips On "BHG" Protocol

1. Give your URL (blog address). 2. GIVE DETAILS: State the specifics of your problem or question. Are you Classic or New (Beta) Blogger? Do not speak in a telegraphic style or assume we know all the latest abbreviated jargon--we have time here for ordinary language. 3.THREADS (Conversations) A. Don't pile onto a long thread if your issue is not the same. "Start a new topic," as it says at the top of the Blogger Help Group page. You'll get more results. B. However, don't start a new thread if you want to say "I have the same problem as him or her!" Place your message on the same thread so it'll stay there! Threads can change sequence because newly posted or updated ones go to the top of the group--thus causing your separate, abandoned thread to make less sense. C. Don't repeat your message in every category of this forum; it just makes things messy. If you're not a jerk, stay on one thread until the end of the conversation. If you are a jerk, just hang on until I have time to kill you. 4. REACHING BLOGGER: It cannot be emphasized too much that you should get your plea for help (if any) filed with Blogger Support now, soon, so that when and if they send you those damn automated responses, you can start writing back to them asking for human help! Be persistent, not rude. 5. DELETE YOUR MESSAGE: If you find that you put your query in the wrong category and want to put the message in a different category, or if you just realized you've asked a jackass question, or for whatever reason, YOU CAN DELETE the first posting. a. Click "More Options" in the upper right-hand corner above the question. b. Click on the "Remove" option. c. Then click on "Yes, Remove it now". d. Then click "Confirm".
