Blogspot user interface is not very intuitive or clear. There are a number of situations where what should be the obvious thing to do, is not the right thing to do. Here I have some answers which I post recently on Blogger user help forum. I have answers for only the more basic, first time user problems. Please post questions on more complex problems on the forum and wait for answers from our Blog*stars.

How do I contact Google?
Q: How can I contact Google by telephone or email?
A: You cannot talk to a Google employee. Blogger is a free service. Money is not available for setting up a help desk to serve 120 million bloggers, world wide, who do not speak the same language (English).

A post is not called a blog on Blogger.
Q: When I press create blog, it leads me to joining "Bloggers" instead of directing my people to write a blog on my site.
A: On Blogger, these terms are used differently. We refer to a web site as a blog. Blogs, we call them: posts.
This explains why so many new users (from other blogging platforms) are misled into creating more than one account.The next day, they sign on to the new account and do not see their blog on the dashboard and their next question is: where is my blog?

I want that URL
Q: How do I get the name of an existing blog which has not been used in 5 years?
A:
Blog name can be shared by many blogs; but blog address (URL) has to be unique.
Even if you manage to contact the owner and he agrees to delete his blog, the URL is still not available to you. You need to show him how to transfer ownership of the blog to you. Since he has made only one post in 5 years, he probably hasn't got a clue how to do a transfer properly, even if he remembers his ID and password. Then you probably has to show him how to get back his forgotten data for signing on to his forgotten blog. Google definitely will not help you because a blog is for ever.

Font and text size
Q: How do I change the font style and size on my Blogger header?
A: Please go to layout, fonts and colours. A small window opens allowing you to scroll and change parameters on every part of your blog page. What you need is blog title font and blog descriptions font. Make your selection. Save changes each time.
