The Migration Has Ended

It's not just a migration, it's now a stampede. The option disappeared today, leaving in its place
Move your account to use the new Blogger

No "Please", no "Soon".

So how did I get here, to post this?

Well, there are two possible web site addresses. Use the one, wisely.

Nope, there's only going forward, now. I have to update all of my newly migrated blogs with the shiny New Blogger template features, when I'm not busy helping with the stampede, that is.

(Edit 1/26 13:00): Here is the first and only acknowledgment, to date, by Blogger.
We are beginning to require a portion of Blogger accounts to switch to the new version of Blogger. This is necessary in order for us to soon be able to retire the old version of Blogger. The first time you see this message, you will have the option to skip it and access your blog on the old system, but after that you will be required to switch.


(Edit 1/26 15:00): Publicly published instructions, in Blogger Help Group: How Do I? Moving Over to the New Version of Blogger advises us
Starting today, a small percentage of users who log in to an old Blogger account will be required to move to the new version.
and goes on to
If you're one of the lucky folks who is prompted to move your account over to the new version of Blogger, you'll be able to postpone this process once (and only once) if you *really* need to get a post out of your head or want to say goodbye to the old Blogger.
but offers no advice how to postpone the process.

Further below, the generous, and vague, instruction
Lastly, if you find yourself continuing to experience difficulties accessing your blogs (AFTER looking for help on your own), I encourage you to write in to The Blogger Team.
But how? Details, details...

Not a user friendly instruction, overall. It reminds one of the exercise of due diligence, and no more.

How much longer will this site even be of value?

This blog is now migrated. I am not going to let it go out of existence.

I suspect that Blogger and Google will give plenty of material for this blog, constantly, and eternally.

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?".
