New AutoSave Function In Post Editor May Be Causing Problems

By
Blogger now has an AutoSave function, which will hopefully cut down on the well known pink warning "Could not connect ...", caused by cookies involved in saving our posts automatically. AutoSave works automatically, for all new or draft posts.


See the new button? It changes from "Save Now" to "Saved" periodically.



But some Bloggers are now having problems with Post Editor. Some problems appear similar to the recent Singnet issue, but the Bloggers involved have explicitly stated that they are not connecting from Southeast Asia. Users of Mac and Safari seem to be having the most problems.

Other Bloggers report that Reader Comments may be disabled for some posts. If you're creating a new post, and you like having your readers comment on your posts, click on "Post Options" below the main post editor window, and make sure that Reader Comments are Enabled.

Known Issues (being actively investigated):
  • Publishing problems in Safari (The Save Now, Preview and Add Image buttons don't respond).
  • Comments get disabled.
  • Possible publishing problems and comment link problems when you use the back button in the post editor.
  • Extremely slow typing - you can type, but the text doesn't show up in the browser window for many seconds.

Initial Diagnostics:

Possible Mitigation Techniques:

When reporting the problem:
  • What operating system, and what browser, is this a problem on?
  • What operating system, and what browser (if any), is this not a problem on?

(Update 2007/06): It is possible to disable AutoSave, when composing your posts.

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.

Referer Spam Is Annoying - And, It's Persistent

By
Recently, we've seen a few blog owners who are curious about odd trends in their Stats displays. My numbers seem to go up steadily for a while, then drop. Then, they go up again, for a while, then drop again. Rises and falls in traffic are normal. You'll never have the same number of people, viewing your blog, constantly. During some days and some hours, our readers are going to be elsewhere, and not viewing our blogs.
