A. How do I create a Blogger account?
On the Blogger homepage, click "Create Your Blog Now". In the following pages, you will be asked to create a Google Account. You can use a Google Account on other Google services.

Once completed, you will be asked to create a blog and get started!

Once you've logged into blogger.com, click the link "Create Blog". In Step 2, enter a title and the address (URL). You also need to type in the verification word displayed on this page. When finished, click "continue". In step 3, you can choose a template for your blog; that's how it will appear when you publish it. Next, Blogger will create your new blog and reserve your spot on BlogSpot. As soon as you make your first post, your page will appear in the address of your choice.

If you have forgotten your Google Account information, you can recover the Google Account login information by clicking the "?" next to "Password" on the Blogger login page or you can use the Password Assistance page on the Google Account.
Remember that the Google Account username is your full email address you used to create an account (eg yourname@example.com).

In this case, try to login with all your email addresses, use the Password Assistance form if necessary. Please try the following even if you think only have one account. We see many cases where people have accidentally create an additional account without realizing it, so check your own account is usually the fastest way to get back to your blog.
6. How do I delete a blog?
To delete the entire blog, go to Settings tab | Basic. Here, make sure that you really are on the blog who wish to be permanently deleted from your account. Then click "Delete This Blog".

Yes, this is called "blog team". Basically, one person started making a blog, then invite others to join. Team members can be an administrator or senders of regular posting. Administrators can edit all the posts (not just their own), add and remove members of the team (and to give admin access), and change the blog. Non-admins can only send a posting to the blog.

Do not include http:// or ftp:// in the server address or path settings.
11. How do I use a custom domain on my blog?
If you do not want to have blogspot.com in your blog address, you can get your own domain. We will continue to host all the content as before, but the content will be displayed at your new address.
There are three components to prepare:
Your Domain
The first thing you need to do is choose a domain name, like mysite.com and register it. You can register a domain name from any registrar.
DNS settings
Then, you need to create a CNAME record for your domain with the DNS, associating your domain with ghs.google.com. The correct procedure for doing this varies, depending on your domain registrar, so please contact your registrar directly and they will help you. Be careful that the new DNS data can not be directly applied.
Blogger Settings
Up to this point, DNS servers know to direct people to Google when they want to see your blog, so we have to ensure the correct Google blog linking to your domain. You do it on the tab Settings | Publishing to your blog in Blogger. If you're publishing on Blog * Spot, you will see a link near the top offering to switch to a custom domain. Go ahead and click that link. Blog * Spot Address setting now changes to your Domain. Write the domain that you register at the beginning of this process, then save your settings.
Note:
• If you do not lead to a new domain to your blog, wait a day or two, to make sure all DNS servers have been updated. If the still is not working properly, contact your registrar to ensure that you have entered the DNS settings correctly.
• The original Blog * Spot address will automatically forward you to your new domain. That way, the link or bookmark that already exist within your site will still work.
• You can use this feature with domains (eg mysite.com) or subdomains (eg, name.mysite.com). However, you can not specify subdirectories (eg mysite.com / blog /) or wildcards (eg *. Mysite.com).
12. How does Blogger Mobile work?
To start a mobile blog, please send a message (which can be images, text or both) to go@blogger.com and we'll start a blog for you! After sending a message, you will receive a reply with your mobile blog URL and a token that you can use to claim your new blog. To claim your blog, insert the token into the http://go.blogger.com.

Click on any label to bring you to a page that contains only the posts with that label. You can also add a list of all your label in the sidebar of your blog, sorted alphabetically or by frequency of use.

16. Is the "Flag" is?
This feature is called "Mark Seabgai Doubt" and can be accessed via the Blogger Navbar. The "Flag?" allows the blogging community to easily remember the dubious content, thus helping us to take the necessary steps. When a person visiting a blog clicks the "Flag?" on the Blogger Navbar, it means that they are confident that the blog content may not be offensive or illegal. We count how many times blog characterized as something less fun and use this information to determine what action needs to be done. It should be noted that the user can click the button a second time to cancel the mark they have terakan.

You can find the comment moderation setting on the Settings tab | Comments. This setting option is only a yes / no simpler. Choosing "yes" to this option will give you space to enter your email address. You can moderate comments via email without affecting your regular comment notification settings. This setting is optional, because you can always moderate comments through the Blogger interface.

All incoming comments will now go to our special "Moderate Comments", which you can find under the Delivery tab: On this page, you will see a list of all the comments that have been made but not yet approved or rejected.

This will open a pop-up window that lets you add elements to your blog by clicking "Add to Blog" button on the desired element:
19. Why am I faced with the verification word in the posting form?
Verify the words on the posting form to reduce spam mechanism for
BlogSpot in general. There are two potential causes:
Potential Spam
In this case, verification of the word applies to a certain potential spam blogs by an automated system. Because the system is automated, so maybe there will be some false positive (false positive), although we are constantly working to refine the algorithm to avoid these things. The existence of the word verification on form submissions will not prevent you to publish and do not mean that your blog will be deleted or punished if it does not violate our policies. To avoid further inconveniences when publishing, click the "?" (Question mark) next to the word verification on your posting form. You will be taken to a page where you can request a review for your blog. We will have someone to look at it, verify that this is not spam, then enter your blog into a white list so that your blog is no longer raises the word verification.
High-level posts
If you send a lot of posts in one day, you will be asked to complete the word verification for each post, regardless of whether or not your blog is stated as potential spam. If this occurs, you need to do is complete the word verification for each post, or wait 24 hours, at which the verification will be automatically deleted. The quota is to control the load on our servers as well as to prevent explicit spam. Therefore, there is no review process to get rid of a white list of blogs.
20. Why my blog is not active?
Off state is a result of the automated classification system marking a blog as spam. If your blog is not a spam blog, then your blog has been wrongly classified by our automated system and we apologize for it. If your blog is off, the blog will be listed on the Dashboard, but you can not get access to it. If so, there will be a grace period during which you can request to have your blog reviewed and restored.
21. Can I use keyboard shortcuts when sending a post?
Blogger has several keyboard shortcuts that can be used when editing posts. The shortcut works in Internet Explorer 5.5 + / Windows and the Mozilla family (1.6 + and Firefox 0.9 +), and possibly also in other browser. Here is a shortcut is:

It lets you type Hindi words phonetically in English script and still display the Hindi language with the correct alphabet. To enable this feature, visit the Settings | Basic and select "Yes" for the transliteration option. These settings will affect all blogs on your account, the same as the Write Mode setting.

(Editorial content is usually located on top of your shipment and the Archive Index is usually a list of archive links in your sidebar). Click on "Save Settings" at the bottom of the page when you are finished.

Posting template will save users time with her editor praformat posting. Some users want to post them formatted in a certain way.

In this case, the blockquote tag and link can be inserted into the post template and they will come up, and ready to be filled, on every new post.
27.Apakah called backlinks and how to use it?
Backlink lets you keep track of other pages on the web that connects with your post. When your friends connect to one of your posts, for example, the posts that would automatically show there are other people who have to connect it to this posting, and posts will provide snippets of text and a link to post your friend. Backlinks setting can be found under the Settings tab | Comments and contain a simple option to turn on or turn it off. When activated, you will see a link marked "Links to this post" link next to the comments for each post.
28. Any word verification option?
The "word verification" can be found on the Settings tab | Comment on your blog. If you select "yes" to this arrangement, then the people who leave comments on blogs you need to complete a word verification step, similar to that appears when you create a blog: What this does is prevent the addition of comments to your blog in the automated system this, because it requires someone to read and pass this stage. If you've received comments like that you come across on a random ad or link to sites that do not have anything to do, then you've encountered comment spam. A lot of this is done automatically by software that does not pass the word verification, so enabling this option is a good action to avoid many unwanted comments like that.
29. Can I edit the HTML of the layout of the blog?
Sure, just visit the tab Template | Edit HTML. The first thing on this page is the option to download a copy of your template into a text file on your hard drive. We strongly encourage you to do this so you can easily re-upload it again with the same file. The following is the actual code for your template. You will see code that looks like HTML and CSS, but in it there are a lot of custom tags that make it compatible with the layout editor drag-and-drop, and the font and color selector.
30. Where does the title of my blog would look?
The title of your blog, which is set in the Settings tab | Basics on Blogger, can be seen in many places: On publication of your blog, on your dashboard, in your profile, and the list of "Recently Updated" on Dashboard (if your blog is listed in the list). So make sure your blog is creative!
31. Is that URL?
URL is the location of a file on the web. Some examples include http://www.blogger.com/ URL, or http://myblog.blogspot.com/. The URL you choose will be used by visitors, or your own, to access your blog.
During the blog creation process, you will be prompted to choose a URL for your blog if you want to blog it was introduced in the Blog * Spot. Because there are already many blogs on Blog * Spot, you need to get creative and might need to try some different things than before you find one that exists. One thing to remember when choosing a URL for your blog is a dash or hyphen (also known as a dash, -) as the only non-alphanumeric characters are allowed. Spaces are not allowed, as well as underline or underscore (_) or other special characters.
32. What is the task of setting the "list"?
Setting the "Add your blog to our list?" determine whether your blog will appear on blogger.com or not - more specifically, to a list of blogs on your profile page and the newly updated blog will appear on the Blogger homepage.

33. What is the task of encoding settings?
Encoding setting tells web browsers how to display on your blog. This is not so important for English-language blogs, but fundamental to non-English blogs that can be displayed properly. UTF-8 is selected by default, as it supports all languages. However, in some cases, you need another encoding. And if the encoding you want is not listed, please let us know and we'll add it soon.
34. Is an FTP Server?
FTP server is a computer that uses FTP to accept files that are uploaded by users. Your FTP server address usually looks like this: ftp.example.com
When you purchase a hosting service, you must have the FTP server address to use. If you do not have this information or you have doubts about it, contact your hosting provider.
Note:
• deafult port number to use (: 21 for FTP and: 22 for SFTP). Specify an alternate port will not work.
• And do not include http:// or ftp:// in the server address.
35. Is the FTP path?
FTP trajectory tells Blogger where your blog files are placed on the server. FTP should be formatted like the track below:
directory / directory / (be sure to include the trailing slash)
If you are familiar with FTP, your path is a directory of your web-accessible. For example, it might be 'htdocs' or 'www' or 'public_html' or, if you want to put your blog on a subdirectory, 'htdocs / blog /' and so on.
If all of these explanations seem complicated, try to contact your hosting provider for assistance. They can tell you how to set up a special server.
Note:
• Do NOT use http://, ftp:// or address of the server on the track.
• The directory you specify must already exist in your FTP Server.
• Directory may not be an absolute path - the directory must be relative to the ftp root location on the server.
36. What is the difference between republishing the index and republishing the entire blog?
If you have an FTP blog, you still need to republish your blog in order to reflect your updates. Publish Index Only means that only the index page (and site feed, if enabled) will be republished.
Publish Entire Blog will publish the entire blog - the index page, feed, archive & post pages. This will apply your latest template changes to all pages of your blog. It will take a while if you already have a lot of posts.
Well, it's ngeeh, you certainly can .. safe blogging
