The Blog Content Warning May Not Be Voluntary, In All Cases

The "Content Warning" advisory page, appearing ahead of blogs with questionable content, protects the casual blog surfer from viewing content which may be objectionable to some readers. It's presence on any given blog is supposedly the result of voluntary action by a blog owner, who can set "Adult Content?" to "Yes", at his / her discretion.

The presence of the advisory page, supposedly has slight effect upon prospective readers of the blog.
  • Prospective readers must read the notice, and decide whether they wish to view possibly gratuitous content, and that after they click through the notice.
  • The blog, when listed in a search hit list, will show the text of the content warning, in place of the blog description and post extract.


Recent claims by some readers make it appear that this setting may be, in some cases, not set voluntarily, and that it has additional consequences. The warning page also seems to interfere with the ownership verification process, in Google Webmaster Tools.

Thank you for your site and information. I just used your guide to set up my custom domain, with the help of tech support at geohost.ca. I could not have done it without your site though. I sent them the page as reference and they set it up on their side so all I had to do tonight when I got home from work was type in the domain on Blogger itself. Couldn't have been simpler! Wanted to leave you a thank you note. Thank you!

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.
