Missing Followers Gadget Content - March 2011

This evening, we are seeing a small flood of reports about missing Followers, in various Followers gadgets. The reports posted so far, in Blogger Help Forum: Something Is Broken, have been inconsistent and incomplete, and identifying a pattern isn't possible.

We have a rollup discussion, where we are collecting details about your personal observations.
  1. Are all Followers icons missing? Is the Followers count also missing? Is a blank space visible, where the icons should be seen?
  2. Are the icons missing when you are logged in to Following, with your icon visible at the top of the Followers gadget?
  3. Are the icons missing when you are not logged in to Following, with the "Follow" button visible, at the top of the Followers gadget?
  4. Are the icons missing on blog(s) which you own, or blogs which you do not own? Can you see the Followers, in my sidebar, to the right?
  5. Are Followers missing also, from your dashboard list for your blog(s)?
  6. Please identify blog(s) where you do not see Followers, by URL.
  7. Where are you located (city, province / state, country)?
  8. What Service Provider connects your computer to the Internet?
  9. In what browser (name, and version) do you observe the problem?
  10. In any browser (name) do you not observe the problem?
If you are observing this problem, a complete description of the problem which you can provide may help identify a pattern.


Blogger Support states that the problem has been fixed.
We believe we've fixed this problem. Please try viewing your blog again- simply reloading the page should do it! If you have any problems please don't hesitate to update the forum.

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?".

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.
