Request took too long

Recently, a few bloggers are reporting an interesting pop up advice from Blogger, generally seen within post editor or possibly the dashboard.

Request took too long.

Your request took too long to complete. This is typically just a temporary error due to high network traffic or heavy usage of Blogger.

This is reminiscent of the long ago seen Could Not Connect To Blogger.Com. I suggested a list of useful diagnostic details in Could Not Connect To Blogger.Com - Help Diagnose This Problem. You may also want to read Roberto's Report: Request Took Too Long?.

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.

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.
