| I found a curious thing, though I may be among the last to discover it. I just took a recently-created blog, played with it, then subjected it to the "Revert to Classic" button. Oddly enough, the system "reverted" it even though it had never been a classic template. I didn't test everything about it, but I thought it was very curious. Maybe someday I'll think of some use for this marvellous piece of information. Till then, la di dah... |

EMERGENCY STEPS
| Kick-starting The Blog |
|---|
| 1. Refresh (F5) or Ctrl-F5
2. Clear cache (delete temporary Internet files) and cookies in Tools-Internet Options. 3. Add a question mark to the end of your blog's internet address in the address box and see if it will show the latest update. (Can also be done with other people's url's in the address window.) 4. Republish (if in classic Blogger) 5. Reboot 6. Log out and log back in again (may change to an untroubled server) 7. Change or reload the browser (IE, Firefox, others) 8. Try a different computer, or see if you can duplicate the problem or avoid it in a post in another blog (make a test blog, whether in the same account or a second account, that's not public so nobody will see you screwing around!) ---Not necessary to do all of these at once!--- |
Blogger may make problems for some computers about accepting cookies, especially when you are using the new versions of Internet Explorer or Firefox browsers. Difficulties with accepting scripts may be caused by security systems, antivirus programs, firewalls, and some add-ons. Check all your settings.
You may need to change your browser settings, or to list www.blogger.com and blogger.com as "trusted sites" in your Internet Options-Security so that scripting can occur.

Revert To Never-Never-Land?

Create a URL For Your Profile Pic
How to get a URL for an "About Me" photo that is only on your computer at present
END.
| Another Didactic List |
|---|
| 1. If you need to alter the photo size, use a photo program to do so while it's still on your computer. 2. Use a blog post (on your main blog or some other) and use the photo icon (in the toolbar above the Edit Post text box) to add a photo. 3. You'll Browse your own computer, select one, and upload it to that post. 4. When you've completed that, you'll have a lot of code for a large and small photo pair, part of which ("http://... etc.) is the URL. 5. Save that post, but it's not necessary to publish it. 6. Use the right-click menu on the mouse to Copy the URL. 7. You can later Paste it into the "Photo URL" box in your blog's Edit Profile list. 8. Be sure to save the change at the bottom of the Edit Profile page. |
If you use Blogger's picture icon or otherwise end up with the code for both large and small images, go here to unscramble the text and select the code for the smaller one at Header Picture Code.
