Some Blogger Tricks That have Worked for Me

Like many Blogger bloggers, the Man Without Qualities has had some recent frustrations with the Blogger.

Here are some tricks that have often worked for me, which I offer without warranty but in the hope they might help someone else, too;

Problem: Get message: "unable to load template file."

Often-times fix: Click on "Template." Make no changes in template. Then click on "Save changes."
Click on "Posts" (should return screen to horizontally spit form with orange "Publish" button on the right in the middle
Click on "Publish" button.
Click on "Edit" at bottom of post (to bring post back into upper half of screen, as if you were going to edit it). Do not edit.
Click on "Post & Publish"


Problem: Can't get deep (internal) link to work (especially for a new post).

Often-times fix: Click on "Archive"
Click on "Republish All" (wait for a minute for pages to generate)

Problem: When publishiing a new post, get "Transfer successful" message, but no post appears on blog.

Often-times fix: Click on "Edit" at bottom of post (to bring post back into upper half of screen, as if you were going to edit it). Do not edit.
Click on "Post & Publish" Wait for about one minute
Again click on "Edit" at bottom of post (to bring post back into upper half of screen, as if you were going to edit it). Do not edit.
Post should appear on blog.

Good luck.
