Setting Up A New Blog?

Always add a stub post. And Publish.

If you don't, you'll likely go back the next day, and try to login. And you'll get
Not Found

The requested URL was not found on this server.


Always setup a stub, if you don't feel like posting anything immediately. Why?
  1. You have to publish something, for the blog to exist. Either a real post, or a stub post, it doesn't matter.
  2. You cannot publish an empty blog.
Plain and simple.

Adding A Link To Your Blog Post

Occasionally, you see a very odd, cryptic complaint I just added a link in my blog, but the link vanished! No, it wasn't your imagination.

Embedded Comments And Main Page View

The option to display comments, embedded below the post, was made a blog option relatively recently. This was a long requested feature - and many bloggers added it to their blogs, as soon as the option was presented to us. Some blog owners like this feature so much, that they request it to be visible when the blog is opened, in main page view. I would like all comments, and the comment form, to be shown underneath the relevant post, automatically, for everyone to read without clicking on the number of comments link. And this is not how embedded comments work.

What's The URL Of My Blog?

We see the plea for help, periodically I need the URL of my blog, so I can give it to my friends. Help! Who's buried in Grant's Tomb, after all? No Chuck, be polite. OK, OK. The title of this blog is "The Real Blogger Status", and the title of this post is "What's The URL Of My Blog?".
