The Blogger Followers Gadget Is Broken

Blog owners ask about Followers activity, in Blogger Help Forum: Get Help with an Issue.
I can't Follow my Followers!
They appear to be referring to the Followers gadget, which is currently useless for surfing.

We observed this problem, almost 6 months ago - and it's been reported to Blogger Support, several times.

What is interesting is that Followers itself is working just fine - unfortunately, not so many blogs will have a custom Followers gadget.

The standard "Follow Me" gadget. in the sidebar, is broken.


There's the gadget, on my blog.



This is what I get, when I click on any icon, in the Followers cloud - or the popout window icon, in the upper right corner.


Look at the custom Followers gadget, in this blog - which does work!

I have a custom, full page "Followers" gadget, in this blog - and it continues to work.


That's the custom Followers gadget, on my static page.



I can click on any Follower, in my custom gadget Follower cloud.



And there's the details for that Follower - and opportunity for surfing, from the Follower selected.



And I close the Follower popup window, and I'm back in my custom Follower gadget display.



Not so, with the gadget in the sidebar.



I click on the popout window icon - and get the Followers cloud, opened inside the IFrame. How do I surf, with this?


So, Following itself works OK - it's just the standard sidebar sized gadget, that is broken.

Add A Custom Redirect, If You Change A Post URL

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

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.
