Remove Blogs You Follow from Dashboard's "Reading List"

How to remove titles from "Blogs I'm Following" in the "Reading List" below the Dashboard list of your own blogs: Go to bottom of page under your blog titles that you're following. Next to "Add" is "Manage"--click it. You'll see a page called "Manage blogs I'm following". On the far right side of each title is the word "Settings"--click it. On the far right side of the new page you'll see "Stop following this site"--click it. You will be asked "Are you sure?" in a small pop-up window. Click on "Stop following" to confirm that you are sure! After a few seconds, it shows your original list minus the blog you just removed from the list. FINISHED!

When Header Image is Stuck, Won't "Remove"

When the blog header image you decided you don't like after all won't let itself be removed, what are you supposed to do? People say their photo is stuck there and won't be removed! I believe them, but I've barely had it happen to me, so my experience has been of small proportions! I only had a stuck header image once. What did I do? I panicked, of course. WHAT was it doing? So I tried everything that I ever heard of or could vaguely imagine might work!. Attempts to "Remove Image" NO REAL SUCCESS AT THIS: I hit "Escape". I cleared the cache and cookies. Put the cursor over the window for the image and alternately clicked "Home" and "End" a few times. (This didn't work, although in the past, it DID WORK, turning out to be the odd solution to a newly-added header url that wouldn't go ahead and appear as an image in the same "Configure Header" Gadget. If the url doesn't change to an image in that small window, it usually means that the url had not actually "taken".) I closed the Gadget and then reopened it. I logged out of Blogger and logged back in. I restarted or changed the browser (or both). I did break it loose at last, but not before I'd gotten so flustered that I very unscientifically lost track of the order in which I did all these things. I can't even guess which one really "fixed" it. I nearly feel that it just gave up when it saw how hard I was going to work at it! (You can see how insensible it made me!!!) Remove Gadget, Not Just The Image! SUCCESS! The thing that has always occurred to me is this, though I only just now tested it. It seems to work. Why can't we just "Remove" the Header Page Element entirely if the header image stays stuck? Remove it, then add it back with "Add a Gadget" just like we do when some glitch kicks the "Archive" or "About Me" off the blog? This does work, although I had to "test" it without having a stuck header image. My solution was: IF THERE IS A "REMOVE" IN THE "CONFIGURE HEADER" AS THERE IS IN MANY PAGE ELEMENTS: Click "Remove" in the lower left corner of the "Configure Header" page. Confirm that request when you see "Are you sure?" Go to Layout page and click "Add a gadget". Select the "Header" type. IF THERE IS NO "REMOVE" IN "CONFIGURE HEADER": Go to Layout page. Click "Edit Html". Click "Expand widgets". locate the "header" widget. If the header widget code says "maxwidgets=1", change 1 to 2. (You may want to put something extra up there some day!) If the code says that "Locked="yes", change "yes" to "no". (This is the one that's NECESSARY. This action is what will put "Remove" in the lower left corner of the Configure Header page--otherwise, you have no icon to click!) Return to Layout page and click "Edit" on the Header. Click "Remove" Confirm that request when you see "Are you sure?" Go to Layout page and click "Add a gadget". Select the "Header" type. After either the short or the long list, I can only hope that you can finally remove the header image (replace it, too, if that's what you'd meant to do!). In my case, I ended up with a new Header Gadget with no image as I'd expected. I was then able to put a new image in the header, remove it, replace it (just to see if it would!). But I had no way of knowing that if it had originally been stuck, would the next attempt to add an image also stick?! This may be the problem, the "rub"--I had to test this (all 3 times) without a "stuck" header! So I wish you great Good Luck. You may learn a number of new things, but I can't promise any success! If anyone tries this, let me know if it fails or succeeds!

Remove a Message from Blogger Help Group?

Yes, But Not Completely

Sometimes you may "think better" and want to take your words back. Or maybe you solved it two seconds later and can't bear for the world to know how stupid you were. For any reason, good or bad, you can remove it. It is worth noting that those persons who have their membership options set to receive every message reply by email will still have gotten their copy and you can't call those back. Therefore, your message is hidden only from those who were not emailed and who read the messages on the Web. To remove your message from the Blogger Help Group, click on "More Options" above the message then select "remove". Be sure you click in the circle for "Yes, remove it" then click the "Confirm" button. That's all!

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".
