Please Google, Restore My Deleted Account And Blog!

A frequently seen sign of confusion in Blogger Help Forum: How Do I? is the question
How soon after deletion can I reuse a blog?
And the answer is two part.
Immediately, if you can just undelete it using the same account. Never, if you are trying to transfer the blog.
Occasionally the response to that involves a complication.
But I deleted the account, to make sure that the blog gets freed up.
And now, the blogger gets no choice.
You have to reactivate the account, because the URL is locked to that account.

Now, the blogger has a four fold task ahead of him.And next time, plan the change.

Chappy,

This would be a good question for you to ask in BHF: Something Is Broken.

Thanks for your prompt response. I did read your blog and comments/suggestions prior to posting the question. And, based on those suggestions, have followed your advise and think I have filled out and forwarded the correct online form. Perhaps we will get something back. At this time, it shows that my gmail address associated with the account is not available, but when I try and reserve it with a new google account it states that it is unavailable. So, perhaps again, that is good news. I will keep all posted to any progress. Again, thanks! RB
I am trying to open my Blog 'Best Information Products' http://bestinformationproducts.blogspot. I get to Dashboard. Most of my previous blogs reappeared, but the blog I am looking for is not listed. I am truly frustrated with so many issues and waste of time. Please give me some explanation.

Martin,

You need to post this report in BHF: Something Is Broken.

You say that you can never restore a blog if you are trying to transfer it. Can you clarify? Does tranfering include transfering to a gmail account that already has access to the blog? I had two gmail accounts linked...deleted one which then deleted my blog. I have had no responses yet and would really appreciate your help! I can give you the link to my thread if you are willing to take a look.

Be,

If the GMail account already has access to the blog (private blog?), transferring might include giving access to that account.

We really should discuss this in detail, so how about you provide the URL of your forum discussion (for which you have had no responses yet?) in BHF: Something Is Broken, so we can discuss this conveniently.

Hi
So I tried the first step of the three step process and filled out the form from the google accounts-help. I filled it out 3 times now and have gotten no help. They have just replied that I should change the password or that my gmail account was already associated with another google account. Is there anything else I can do to restore my deleted blog or account?
Thank you so much for any help or advice that you have. You are the only real person that responds to anything I have done so far!

Crystal,

In this case, I'll ask that you post a question in Blogger Help Forum: Something Is Broken, so we can figure out what your problem really is.

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.

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?".

With Following, Anonymous Followers Can't Be Blocked

As people become used to Blogger Following as just another tool to connect people, they start to think about the implications . And we see questions like How do I block someone who's been following my blog secretly? I couldn't see her in my Followers list (hence I couldn't use the "Block this user" link), but I have looked at her profile and could see that she's Following my blog. Following, when you look at the bottom line, is no more than a feed subscription and an icon (possibly) displayed on your blog, and linking back to the profile of the Follower in question. If someone Follows your blog anonymously, all that they get is a subscription to the blog feed. If you publish a feed from your blog, and if the feed is open to anybody (which, right now, is the case ), then it's open to everybody. If someone wants to use Following to subscribe to the feed, you can't stop this. You can't block it before, or after, the fact. You can't Block w
