Your Neighbour's Cough

Have you ever visited your personal physician, and instructed him
My neighbour has the same cough as I have. Her doctor prescribed xxxxxxxx medicine. I want a prescription for xxxxxxx.
Hopefully, not. Your doctor, if he has any professional capability, will know that a smoker's cough (in your 80 year old neighbour) won't be treated the same way as an influenza infection (in you).

Also hopefully, your doctor spends some time reading about what disease level is normal, in the population, at any time.

If you go to him with a complaint, he'll possibly know

This has been going around for a few weeks. Go home, drink plenty of fluids (no alcohol please), and get plenty of rest. Come back in 2 weeks, if you're not feeling better.

Likewise, bloggers need to be aware of what diseases currently affect Blogger blogs. And, they need to know when their blog has a problem - and to understand that maybe somebody else's blog showing a similar symptom won't mean that both blogs have the same problem.

It would not hurt anybody to understand about affinity testing - and about differential testing - and try a bit of each, when confronted by a Blogger problem.

All of this is why I continually post, in the forums

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?".

Add A Custom Redirect, If You Change A Post URL

When you rename a blog, the most that you can do, to keep the old URL useful, is to setup a stub post , with a clickable link to the new URL. Yo! The blog is now at xxxxxxx.blogspot.com!! Blogger forbids gateway blogs, and similar blog to blog redirections . When you rename a post, you can setup a custom redirect - and automatically redirect your readers to the post, under its new URL. You should take advantage of this option, if you change a post URL.

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.
