Static Pages And Comments

By
After long waiting, Blogger added a static pages option to our blogs. And even as blogger are busy adding static pages to their blogs, they are learning what static pages are - and what they are not. And as we note what static pages are not, we have to note that one feature which they appear to provide - comments - may not work for everybody.

Some bloggers have observed that comments do not work on their static pages. Comments are a complex product, and are sensitive to many settings - both in the blog, and on the client computers.

Right now, we're just starting to look at this deficiency. Help us out here, if you are able.
  • First (guess what is first?) what is the URL of the blog with the noted problem?
  • Does the blog use Embedded, Popup, or Separate Page comments?
  • Is the problem observed on the computer of the blog owner, on the computers of the readers, or all computers?
  • If the problem is inconsistently observed on multiple computers, what operating system and browser is in use when the problem is noted? When the problem is not noted?
  • Does the blog contain any customisations in the post template?
  • Have you tried standard comments diagnostics?
That's where we start. The initial diagnoses start with you, and with what you can tell us.

Where's The Dashboard?

By
We see this confusion, a couple times a week, in Blogger Help Forum: How Do I? . Where is the dashboard? In the Classic Blogger GUI, the display which contained the "Blog List" (at the top), and the "Reading List" (at the bottom) was labeled "Dashboard". Many people also called the "Settings" / "Template" screens for the various blogs, linked from the Blog List, the dashboard. The New Blogger GUI has no page with the label - and no links "To The Dashboard". The Navbar (another unlabeled feature) has two links - "Design" and "New Post" - which lead to different dashboard sections, when you are appropriately logged in to Blogger . And, the "B" logo at the far left of the navbar will, similarly, take you to the Blog List / Reading List.

What's The URL Of My Blog?

By
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?".

What Is "ghs.google.com" vs. "ghs.googlehosted.com"?

By
With Google Domains registered custom domains becoming more normal, we are seeing one odd attention to detail, expressed as confusion in Blogger Help Forum: Learn More About Blogger . My website uses "ghs.google.com" - am I supposed to use "ghs.googlehosted.com", instead? It's good to be attentive to detail, particularly with custom domain publishing . This is one detail that may not require immediate attention, however.
