Getting Back To The Classic GUI

By
With any new feature, the main concern many folks may have is, when experiencing changes for the first time, is
How do I get back the old version?
I don't think the new GUI 2011 will provide any different emotions.

Some folks, who are using Draft Blogger because some specific feature in the post editor wasn't working, are out of luck. Other folks, who have been using Draft Blogger just to "see what it does", may find comfort in the Classic GUI. Getting back to the Classic GUI isn't difficult.
  • Hit the Blogger "B" logo in the upper left corner. This gets you back to the "Home" page (what we used to call the "Dashboard".
  • Clear the selection "Make Blogger in Draft my default".
  • Login to the Classic GUI, at "http://www.blogger.com".
And, you're back.

Before you do this, find the gear logo in the upper right corner of every Draft screen, and select "Send feedback". Tell Blogger why you are switching back to the Classic GUI, and give them a chance to fix the problem that you have with the New GUI. Be objective - Draft Blogger is a Beta testing opportunity.

And if you get back and eventually find the Classic GUI to be boring, remember that Draft Blogger and the New GUI is only one click away.

have been using the draft version for a good while and thoroughly enjoying it. Though I know it won't be everybody's cup of tea, there's hardly much point in not using it. People might as well get used to it, it will eventually be the main version, won't it?

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.

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.
