Nobody Has Hijacked THESE Blogs

By
My blog (one of them anyway) was http://nitecruzrrecipes.blogspot.com/ (now, it's http://recipes.nitecruzr.net/ - but, I digress).

Now, I'd hate to have to type that by hand. But that's MY blog.

On the other hand, neither http://nitecruzrrecipes.blogpsot.com/, nor http://nitecruzrrecipse.blogspot.com/ is my blog.

If you typed http://nitecruzrrecipes.blogpsot.com/ into your browser, you'd hope to get an honest diagnostic page.
Server not found

Firefox can't find the server at nitecruzrrecipes.blogpsot.com.
  • Check the address for typing errors such as www.example.com instead of www.example.com.
  • If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
  • If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
If you typed http://nitecruzrrecipse.blogspot.com/ into your browser, you'd hope to get
Not Found The requested URL was not found on this server. Please visit the Blogger homepage or the Blogger Knowledge Base for further assistance.
And I did, when I tried the last example. The first example, though, will give you a webpage that I will not look at. You may follow the link, if you wish - it's there for you, and it's sanitised, using PKBlogs for your protection. If you do, though, you'll possibly be providing a few cents to yet another spammer. But how is this possible? It's quite simple, and it's legal. Google, or Blogger, owns blogspot.com. Doug Powell owns blogpsot.com. The "hijacker" (and I don't know if there is an actual term used for this type of hijack either) has registered blogpsot.com. That's quite legal. Unfortunately, a few Bloggers don't know of this little scam. So, when they see a spammer's blog come up when they think that they've typed their own URL, they freak, and think that their blog has been hijacked. In this case, though, they're mistaken. Relax, and get on with your life. Various hijackings are happening, but this is not one. Neither Doug Powell (owner of Blogpsot.Com), nor W3.Org, is hijacking your blog.

Add A Custom Redirect, If You Change A Post URL

By
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.

Jump Break Is Visible Only In An Index Page

By
Some blog owners are unsure what a Jump Break looks like, when applied to their blogs. Occasionally, in Blogger Help Forum: Get Help with an Issue , we see the confusion. Where's the Jump Break? or I added a Jump Break to several posts, but it never shows up! When asked for a screen print of what they're seeing, they may provide a image of the post, in the Post Editor Preview window - or possibly, the published post, but in post page view.
