Email Forum Thread Updates To Me

As we work on various issues in Blogger Help Group, we discuss various issues with many different bloggers, with many bloggers operating on different schedules than we do.

Some folks may go for days before reading back in the forum, finding their help request, and reading our replies to their requests for help. Even more days may elapse before we see their replies. Some threads may then take weeks to complete, while others may take mere hours.

But there is hope for cutting some of the latency. At the top of each thread, behind the "Options" link, is a second link "Email updates to me". The volume of posts in BHG being what it is, you would be crazy to subscribe to BHG, in general, by email. But for individual threads, which you are concerned about, you can subscribe by email.

This helps augment the "Favorites" link at the very top, so we can track many more threads simultaneously.

What's The URL Of My Blog?

Referer Spam Is Annoying - And, It's Persistent

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.
