New Comment Moderation System, And Difficulties With Moderation

As the new comment moderation system gets deployed on more blogs, we are seeing a few reports of problems moderating using email. Some bloggers report inability to moderate, without having to sign in again, repeatedly, to their Blogger accounts. Other blogger have observed that some comments, selected as "Publish" or "Mark as spam", seem to remain in the current queue also. In some cases, bloggers have selected "Publish" repeatedly, with no error provided.

We know that the connections between Blogger accounts and email addresses are complex, and are known to cause various problem using Blogger. It's also possible that there is a unique problem with specific blogs, which was explicitly caused by migration to the new system.

For issues with the new Comment Moderation system, Blogger has provided a pinned discussion in Blogger Help Forum: Blogger Feature Suggestions & Feedback. Here, we see the question based advice
We've just released a new feature to our comments system which filters our spam and enables you to better moderate comments on your blog. Please let us know your thoughts, whether it be about the accuracy of our spam detection, ways we could improve the process, or anything else on your mind.
Followed by a brief plea.
But please keep it constructive

And participate - because the new system is not optional.

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.

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?".

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.
