Login Problems Related To Blogger Beta

One big problem with Blogger, right now, is the confusion over authentication. Under classic Blogger, you could have a Blogger account, with an account name. That account could be tied to any email account, with any email service. Blogger Beta ties your Blogger access to a Google email address.

Unfortunately, even though you're not using Blogger Beta, you may be affected by changes to Classical Blogger, which support the Beta.

Blogger Employee
seems to consider this possibility. And Blogger Buzz: Beta Update! describes issues that are relevant here too.

One reader writes of using the same account and password, in both Blogger and Google, and experiencing this problem. He reports a successful workaround, achieved by changing the password on one account.

How do I increase my bandwith?

My blog http://faustasblog.com is fried because of not enough bandwith but I can't find any information on how to increase the bandwith.

Fausta,

Bandwidth problems experienced by your website are beyond the scope of this blog, and of the various Blogger forums. That is a matter that must be solved by you, and whoever provides the server that hosts your blog.

If you have a free service, it's a matter of convincing the server owner. If it's a paid service, it's usually a matter of paying more.

Thanks for keeping everyone up to date on everything going on with the beta. It's been great having a place to come and find out what's going on. I'm enjoying the features on my beta blog, and I hope the migration goes smoothly whenever my turn comes. I'm in no hurry, though.

I'd be happy just to be able to login and see my dashboard. At the moment after a 'failed' migration I can't even login and my google account (now my default blogger login) redirects to 'Could not switch you to the new Blogger'. Consequently, I'm in 'Blogger purgatory' where I can only use my original blogger login to comment on blogs without comment moderation...

If switching back to 'Classic Blogger' and actually having any access to my blogs was an option, given my rather irritating situation/screwed up migration, I'd take it with open arms. I appreciate betas can be problematic, I just don't appreciate being locked out indefinately... :/

i love this blog - it's incredibly useful. I wish I didn't have a headache right now (caused, no doubt by the so-called "switch" to beta blogger and the loss of a new blog I spent hours setting up and tweaking yesterday -- in beta -- it was there and then it wasn't. argggh! thanks for listening.

so i wish i didn't have a headache. i wish i had time right now to read every single archived post on your blog. i wish i had the patience to actually figure out what the hell went wrong with that new blog -- plus why do they keep telling me they had trouble/couldn't migrate my other two blogs when blogger actually invited me to make the switch? sigh.

no need to answer that. it's rhetorical. I think what I really have to do is go find some aspirin.

Hi Maureen,

Aspirin is OK, if you're not allergic.

I prefer scotch, or vodka.

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?".
