Sticky post

Q: How do I keep a post at the top of my blog? I want it displayed for a week and then let it drop into the archives when I don't need it anymore.

Ref:" creating a sticky post"
Go to your post editor and click on "post options". A new window will open. Change the date of your (sticky) post to 30th August 2008. This post will stay on top for a week. If you wish to make a sticky post to stay up longer, change the year to next year.

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

Transfering account

The sign in name contains an email address that I am cancelling. Will I lose my blog site if I cancel the email address? Is there a way to change my sign in name before I cancel the email address?

getting visitors

Q: When people automatically sign onto Blogger.com, how do they see that I posted a new blog? Do i need to invite people to view my blog or do they see it if they are looking for the topic in which i am blogging about.

If "people" refers to friends and family members, you give them your blog's address (URL). If you like strangers or any one else to visit your blog, you will need to do some work to get the search engines involved. Very often new blogs like yours do not show up at all on search results because they are new and have not yet been indexed by the web crawlers. You need to promote your blog and wait a few weeks before you can be googled.

Go to Dashboard=>Settings=>Email. From the email page you can add upto 10 emails for people to subscribe to your blog. Then, everytime you post a blog, each of these people will automatically receive your entry.
If you have more than 10 people who read your blog, make yourself one of the subscriber and forward the email you get to 10 more people.

comments moderation

Q: a user with the nick slava keep on spamming my blog and leave bad comments on my blog..how do i ban this particular user?

You can screen him out by moderating all the comments coming on your blog. Go to dashboard (control centre), settings, comments, scroll down and select "yes" for both "comment moderation" and "word verification". Save settings. Every comment now will need your personal approval before publication on your blog.
