Posting and Editing
How do I post pictures?
There are three different ways to post pictures to your blog:
If you have images stored on your own server (or elsewhere on the web), you can include them in your posts via the standard <img /> tag:
<img src="http://server.com/photo.jpg" alt="Example" />
Or you can upload photos to your WOWchinese Photo Album and link the pages from there.
Why isn't my latest post appearing on my webpage?
If you post to your blog, but can't see the new entry on your published webpage, there are a few things you can check for. First, though, make sure that the post appears in the Blog interface, with your other ones. Once you've determined that the entry exists in your account, try these suggestions:
* Refresh the published webpage in your browser, to make sure it is showing you the most recent version, and not a cached copy.
* Republish your blog, to make sure it has been updated with the latest posts.
* Make sure that you have not marked the post as a draft. Draft posts will never publish until you change them back into ordinary posts.
* Click the Publishing tab in the Blog interface, which will tell you if your blog published successfully or if there were any errors.
What is the difference between 'draft' and 'publish'?
Click Save as Draft when your post is still in progress, or not yet ready for publishing. Also use it to un-publish an already-published post.
Click Publish Post when you're ready to publish your post to your blog, for others to see.
What is Email Notify Me option when I post?
When anyone comment on your blog, an email notifier can be sent to you.
Set IP-Blocking Option
When you allow everyone on the net to comment on your blog, there are high chances of spamming. You can choose to enable this option to restrict people from a same IP to only one comment
Set Cookie option
Restrict people of the same computer to one post. A cookie will be set in his computer once he make a comment.
If the person is very adamant is spamming your blog, he can delete the cookie from his computer everytime he comments on your blog. This measure isn't fool-proof but would be a enough deterrent for massive spamming.

There are funny characters in my blog. What should I do?
If you're seeing funny characters in your blog, coincidentally where accented or special characters should be, don't worry! The proper characters are still there, they're just being rendered incorrectly. How dare they!
You may need to insert the following line into the <head> section of your template:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; ch***et=<$BlogEncoding$>" />
Or, you can use the <$BlogMetaData$> tag to automagically output all your blog's metadata in one place. Be sure to delete the previous meta/ch***et tag (if you had one), as this will insert your Blogger Encoding setting.
Once you've made your changes, just republish your blog to see them on your webpage.
Note: If you cut and paste text from Microsoft Word or another word processor, it may be in a different encoding than the one your blog uses. In this case, some special characters like curly quotes may look wrong when you publish it. This can be fixed by editing the post and re-typing the characters that are displaying incorrectly.
How do I change the name that appears at the end of my posts?
To change your Display Name, click the Edit Settings link on your Profile page. Once you've changed your Display Name, click the Save button at the bottom of the page. |
