Fixing A Few Blogger Problems- Blank White Screen And More

Well,

I don't know if this is the

Cure-All

Be-All

Do-All

but I 

DO KNOW that

it has worked for me

as far as being able 

to receive comments

on my blog.

I had two helpers.

The first was Tete

Beyond The Garden Gate

She helped me out with several

things yesterday.

Things that most of you 

already know how to do.

Go visit her- she's a crazy broad

but I love her.

The second one was 

Kathy  from 

Creative Home Expressions.

She told me how to fix

my comment section so that

it would be in a 

POP UP mode

rather than embedded

below my post.

Easy-peasy-

following her directions..

even for a computer idiot

like myself.

If I can do this- 

Anyone can.

Trust me.

To Change Your Comment

Into A Pop-Up Box..

(which seems to eliminate

the dreaded white screen)

Go to your dashboard.

Click on Settings 

Click on Comments

(the one UNDER the settings tab-

not the one next to it)

Scroll down until you see

where you have the option of

Pop Up and click on the little circle there.

Make sure you SAVE it by clicking

the Save button.

The other biggie is 

WORD VERIFICATION.

I f you are not

in the CIA

or a 

Federal Agent you probably

don't need it.

(or if you haven't been a target

of spammers)

Blogger does a pretty good 

job of killing the spammers off

before they ever hit your blog.

Having to verify a scrambled

word makes many people 

leave without posting.

So...if you aren't getting
as many comments
as you would like,
word verification
might be on and you

aren't even aware of it.

Here's how to check.

Go to Dashboard.

Click on Settings.

Click on Comments.

(the one UNDER the settings tab-

not the one next to it...

don't ask me HOW I know this, m'kay?;>)

Scroll down.

There is a box that says

Show Word Verification For Comments

Click NO

Then scroll down and hit SAVE.

Presto..

You're done.

So easy even a 5 year old can do it.

Even though she might pick

a bow that is too big for her head.

I also went to 

Chrome Google

and installed it...

this gal that has never installed

anything on her computer before..

crazy, huh?

Anyway~

Just google it and it will

lead you right through the process

of installing it.  It does make your

computer much faster

and it puts an icon on your desk top.

When asked if you want to make that

your Default server. Click yes...and

you are good to go!
