2. Unselect the third box.
3. Save.

Author's name under post

Q: Usually most blog have this author at the end of each post but I do not have mine in it. How to correct the problem?
A: Please go to layout. Click "Edit" on "Blog Posts". Tick the second option. Save.

Sticky post

Q: How can i make a sticky mode when posting a new post ?

A:
If you wish to make a "sticky post", publish the post first.
Then go to your dashboard, edit post, post editor, post options.
Scroll down and change today's date to a future date (2012)
Publish post. (This post will now stick to the top of your page until the future date arrives).

Note: If you publish a new post with a future date, you have created a "scheduled post" and not a "sticky post". Your scheduled post will  publish and appear only on that date (2012).

There is another way to make a sticky post. Use a text gadget. Drag it to the top of the page.

Transfer blog ownership

Q:I decided to start a new blog with one of my accounts and registered it, but a couple days later decided to use the blog under a different account. So, I deleted the blog with the old account but when I went to the new account and tried to register the name, it said the blog name is not available. I did a search on google blogsearch and the blog does nto exist, so why is it still telling me the name isn't available?

Because once you register a blogname it's associated only with the account that originally registered it, This is a security feature to prevent cybersquaters and spammers from immediately taking over your old blog and putting crap there, You can get around this by simply go back to the original account that you registered the blogname with, recreate the blog and then go into the Permissions and make your new account an administrator then after you accept administratorship in your new account simply remove your old account as an administrator and you should be all set.

Expandable posts, Read more, post summaries, jump break

Q: Is there any way to post the title only? I would like to show the
title of the post, and then have the post open in another window. Is
this possible? Anybody's help would be greatly appreciated.

A: Yes. We call this feature, a jump break, expandable post or read more. 
First post the whole article in full on a post. Then you add the jump break.

Here is a tutorial:

If you don't use the new post editor, you can still insert a jump break in Edit HTML mode by adding <!-- more --> where you want to position the jump break. Please note the spaces before and after the word more. 

Microsoft Word incompatibility

Q: Hi, lately, I have been having problems putting text from a Microsoft Word document into my post. When the cursor is inside the text box, I hit paste and the writing gets pasted on the bottom of the page, below the text box. When I submitted the post, nothing came up.
Is there any way that I can paste text from a Word document into the text box or do I have to rewrite my entire article again in the text box?

A: Microsoft Word programme and Blogger are not compatible. There is a work around. Copy your document, paste to notepad (MS Works or Word Perfect 12). Copy again from notepad and paste to post editor. Publish.

There is another way to paste inside the post editor (other than right click mouse or CTRL key).
Copy your text. Leave your cursor flashing inside the post editor. Use your menu bar, left click mouse on Edit/paste. All your text will appear inside your post editor!

For people using IE8 as browser, this thread has the answer, use the compatibility mode:
