The Tranliteration Feature Is Disabled

Owners of Asian language blogs have been recently asking, in Blogger Help Forum: Something Is Broken

Why can't I publish in Hindi (Kannada, Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, ...) any more?

(Update 2011/07/20): The Transliteration feature has been returned to availability.

Blogger Known Issues for Thursday, July 07, 2011 bears the bad news to us.

We've temporarily disabled the transliteration feature until we sort out a few issues with the feature. Engineers are looking into this and hope to have the feature re-enabled shortly.

If your blog requires any of these Asian character sets, you're going to have to be patient.

There's no alternate solution, or quick fix, here - though a possible workaround is suggested by Roberto: Transliteration - Post Editor Alternatives.

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?".

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.
