The TextList Gadget Now Lacks A URL Option

By
We're seeing a few reports, in Blogger Help Forum: Something Is Broken, about broken TextList gadgets.
I cannot add a URL, linking to the Title of my posts, using the "Configure TextList" wizard. The 'Add URL' option is missing from the "Configure TextList" wizard.
Similar to the shared design between the "HTML" and "Text" gadgets, it appears that the "LinkList" and "TextList" gadgets shared features.

Having fixed various Blogger accessory gadgets, it appears that Blogger Engineering has removed or updated some odd gadget features.

One previously discussed change, which received mixed reviews, was the positioning of new entries in the LinkList gadget. Now, we're seeing that the odd option, to add a URL to TextList entries, has been removed.

If your blog uses a TextList in the function of a LinkList, it's possible that you may be seeing this omission too. Barring the chance that Blogger Engineering can be persuaded to reverse their recent change, you may have to start a new LinkList gadget, and update your new gadget with the necessary URLs.

It appears that Blogger is redesigning some of their "multi personality" gadgets - and realigning or removing some options that may be redundant, given the context of the specific gadgets.

If the gadget redesigns affect your blog, that may be a change to which you may have to adjust.

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.
