There Is No Reader Limit, For A Public Blog

By
Occasionally, we see evidence of subtle confusion about blog member and reader limits, expressed by some blog owners in Blogger Help Forum: How Do I?.
How can I let more than 100 people read my blog?

To cut through the confusion here, we need to start with one basic question.

Is the blog intended to be private, or public?

For a public blog, the reader population is limitless. The legendary limit of 100 is against the blog member list, as you would see in the Settings - Permissions wizard.

The member limit of 100 is for the total of Administrators, Authors, and Designated Readers. Designated readers (in a private blog) are counted; readers (in a public blog) are not counted.

If you have a single owner private blog, the single owner is one member - so the designated reader population is limited to a maximum of 99. With a team owned private blog, you'll have at least 2 administrators / authors - so the designated reader population is limited to a maximum of 98.

The total may be lower, depending upon the total number of administrators / authors. The relevant detail here is private blogs - team blogs, in general, have no reader limit. Only private team blogs have a limit in designated readers.

Add A Custom Redirect, If You Change A Post URL

By
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.

Referer Spam Is Annoying - And, It's Persistent

By
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.

Jump Break Is Visible Only In An Index Page

By
Some blog owners are unsure what a Jump Break looks like, when applied to their blogs. Occasionally, in Blogger Help Forum: Get Help with an Issue , we see the confusion. Where's the Jump Break? or I added a Jump Break to several posts, but it never shows up! When asked for a screen print of what they're seeing, they may provide a image of the post, in the Post Editor Preview window - or possibly, the published post, but in post page view.
