Deleted Blogs Can't Be Added To Google Webmaster Tools

Occasionally, we see confusion in Blogger Help Forum, expressed by bloggers who may have deleted a blog, then noted that the blog was still indexed by Google. Upon learning that Google Webmaster Tools lets us manage the search engine relationships for our blogs, the next question is something like

How do I verify my blog in Google Webmaster Tools? I deleted it, and can't edit the template!

Hoping that you still control the Blogger account that deleted the blog, you start by undeleting the blog. With the blog back on the dashboard, you can resume verifying ownership, in Google Webmaster Tools.

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.

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?".

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.
