How to label search terms to stand out in Blogger blog?
I have a Blogger blog and I want to make searching for a surname easy. So I labeled #Skaggs for a book that contained the Skaggs surname but when I went to search to test it, the search came back all posts with the word Skaggs not just the one post with #Skaggs [more inside]
Black & white aesthetic, leather and cake
I'm trying to find the name of a DIY style blogger circa 2009-2011 who had a black & white aesthetic and worked on both food and clothing/accessories, but who suddenly had a meltdown circa 2012 and presumably disappeared. [more inside]
Who was this early-mid 00's fat blogger?
There was a fat blogger I used to read back in the height of the Shapely Prose era, who had connections with the View Askew fandom and New Zealand (though I think they were American). Who were they? I loved their writing [more inside]
Help me find this long-lost blog
A few years ago, I read a blog by an American man who had spent a year studying in England in the 1980s, and had taken his diary from that year and turned it into a blog. I’d love to re-read it. [more inside]
Putting snippets of web pages into blogger, the easy way
So there used to be a simple bookmarklet for Blogger. You could highlight text on a web page, hit the bookmarklet, and the linked text would show up in a fresh blog entry.
I realize I am the last person on earth using Blogger, but is there still a way to easily put content into blogger in this manner? Or am I asking the wrong question?
Blogger Help: All of my posts were removed from blog - now have a list
Don't know what happened. There is no blog, only a list of the individual posts throughout the years with a monogram letter next to each post. I can access them to edit but not to post.
I want to upload them to a newly created blog - would this be possible? Can I download them in one file to have on my HD? Does anyone know what happened and if this is fixable?
How Can I Can the Spam?
On my blogs, I keep getting spam comments, often from the same few accounts, and it's maddening to have to delete their garbage several times a day. Is there a way to permanently block specific commenters on Blogger/Blogspot?
Is it ethical to post negative reviews for small-time bloggers?
I recently prepared a recipe posted by a blogger (I found the recipe through a Google search). The recipe looked promising, but the resulting dish was quite vile. I'm tempted to post a negative review. [more inside]

A Blog without pictures is like a night without stars
I have a blog on the Blogger platform, owned by Google. I started it in 2011 and I no longer update it, but it's full of good memories and I'd hate for it to disappear. (link on my profile if you're interested in Hiking in Minnesota).
Today I received an email from Google saying that Google + is going away (whatever, I deleted my G+ account years ago) and they're going to be deleting the photos and videos attached to it. I clicked on their "Album Archive" link and holy shit, it's got all of my Blogger pictures on it. I've FAQ'ed and (ha) Googled but can't get a straight answer. Are my pictures going to disappear? And if so, what now? [more inside]

Posting photos on Instagram vs Tumblr vs Blogger vs Flickr, 2017 edition
I have a few ideas for posting (and sorting) my photos online. I'm not looking to set up a brand or get a ton of likes/ upvotes, but at the same time, I want my "collections" to be cohesive, partially for personal reasons of browsing my own older photos. What's the best: Instagram, Tumblr, Blogger, or Flicker? POSSE (Post [on your] Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere) or IFTTT? [more inside]
What's wrong with my blog banner?
There's a big blank spot on the banner of my blogspot blog and I can't seem to get rid of it. When I "preview" my blog from blogger everything looks fine. But when I view the actual url there's that blank strip along the bottom of the banner. I've only noticed it in the last few weeks, and I haven't changed anything about the format, it's appeared out of the blue.

Blog This! Bookmarklet
Blogger used to have a bookmarklet that could be dragged to the bookmark bar in one's browser. It was called "Blog this!" and was a little snippet of javascript that let you highlight text on a page and then publish it, with a hyperlink, on your Blogger blog. Does anyone know if this still exists?
Is there any way to read .atom files?
Google Takeout allows one to export a blog from within Blogger, in the form of a .atom file. Opening the file in a web browser produces the message "This is an Atom formatted XML site feed. It is intended to be viewed in a Newsreader or syndicated to another site. Please visit Blogger Help for more info"
My goal is to convert this file to a standard html bookmarks file, but I can't find any apps that can parse it so I can export it as html. Thanks for any suggestions. [more inside]

How do I get my URL out of the wrong hands?
Someone snagged my old Blogger URL and made it live again and is using it to post lousy marketing copy, mostly, it seems, to generate some income for Google ads. The problem is - the URL is my totally unique professional name. So, if someone were to search for my name, they would find my old blog, filled with some else's crap content. [more inside]

Fixing image quality on blogger?
While updating my blog today, I noticed that images uploading using Blogger's iOS app are of AWFUL quality. How can I fix this? I updated the app recently, and noticed that it now inserts a picture into the text directly (before it would put a thumbnail of the pic below the post). I tried changing the image resolution in the app, but that just made the blurry pictures bigger. I'm using app version 2.1.7.1 on iOS 6.1.3.

Enable Facebook Comments for mobile viewing in Google Blogger?
Is there a way to enable Facebook Comments Box for mobile viewing in Google Blogger?
I used these instructions to enable Facebook comments on my blog. It worked out, but it's not showing up in the mobile view.
This site discusses how to add a widget to the Blogger Mobile Template. The Facebook Comments Box is not exactly a widget. I imagine there's probably a solution to getting it to appear in the mobile view, similiar to this, but I don't know how to do it. Is there a way to add something like this (mobile='yes') to the plugin code?

The better platform: Wordpress or Blogger?
I'm considering setting up my company's website on a blogging platform. Since I'm a heavy user of Google services, I was considering using Blogger, especially since it is free. (I use it for my personal blog.) However, my partner said self-hosted Wordpress is more flexible and more professional. Is Wordpress truly better than Blogger? If so, what are the main selling points of using Wordpress over Blogger in 2012?

Seeking understanding and tools I need to design a homepage that is a dynamic bar chart.
This weekend I'm setting up a website for an academic event. I'd like the homepage of the site to have large, clickable progress bars that display the number of posts for each of the subpages (News & Announcements, Blog, Events, etc.). As more posts are added to each of the subpages (posts would likely be sorted and displayed by category and tag), its respective progress bar takes up more screen real estate and the tally count listed on/near it increases. Basically, I want the homepage to look like a giant, dynamic bar chart. Is there a freeware (or cheap) template, widget or piece of code that allows me to do this? [more inside]

Script kiddie, cron job, or 'there's an app for that'?
After three years of Blogspot and Flickr, I'm finally moving to my very own unlimited storage, unlimited bandwidth servers. (Yes, I know that's not really unlimited, but that's not going to be a problem). The problem is that said photos are on blogspot and flickr, and there's 1,000+ posts with perhaps 5,000 photos. Tell me there's an automated way / script to bring everything under one roof...? [more inside]
