Third Party Blog Feed Gadgets Stopped Working

By
Recently, we're seeing a number of problem reports in Blogger Help Forum: Something Is Broken, about various gadgets that display content from the blog and comments feeds.
My Recent Posts (Recent Comments, Popular Posts) gadgets aren't displaying!
From the reports, this appears to be happening with gadgets installed using "Add a Gadget", from the "Featured" list.

We're seeing third party feedback that the problem may be with some common Blogger code, that has simply stopped working.
There is a specific object for Blogger gadgets called google.Blog that holds a bunch of information about each blog (so that users don't have to enter it during gadget setup, stuff like the blog's URL and the URL to its feeds). That object has suddenly stopped working for some reason.
The implication here is that Blogger Support has been notified, by the Blogger Developers group.

So now, we wait patiently.

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.
