Regarding post going direct into the archives and not into the main page, I have read similar complaints in Google Blogger Help group. What is the cause and what is the solution I don't know.<BR/><BR/>Is your blog relatively new and don't have much customization? If so, what I would do if I get into similar problem will be to first backup the current template in case I want to go back to the original situation. See <A HREF="http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect?dummies-guide-to-google-blogger.blogspot.com/2007/02/backing-up-and-changing-new-blogger.html" REL="nofollow">Backing up and changing New Blogger template</A>.<BR/><BR/>Even if mine is an old blog with lots of customization, I would probably still do the same thing. I would copy the customization (scripts for hit counter, ads, etc) into Notepad, try a new template, see it it helps. Then put the customization back in again.<BR/><BR/>Peter (Blog*Star 2006 and 2007)<BR/><A HREF="http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect?blogger-tricks.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">Blogger Tips and Tricks</A>Manaturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06551634773665093456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-642860444762146155.post-44301487650923230202007-05-24T20:34:00.000+08:002007-05-24T20:34:00.000+08:00I shall try this.

However, with New Blogger, it is hard to say what kind of problems we may get. For example, many bloggers have complained of not having a "Add a Page Element" in their LAYOUT. For such problems I (and those to whom I recommended it) have found that often it helps if one uses a different browser. Since you say you are new, I am guessing you are one of the majority of surfers who only use Intenet Explorer. For them, I strongly recommend installing FireFox browser. It is a much better browser than Internet Explorer6 and below (and it is only now that Microsoft is trying to catch up with IE7) and it is one of the 2 browsers recommended by Blogger. Trust me, I wouldn't recommend anything that is not good for you (I am a retired associate professor and I have a reputation to maintain). You can read more about Firefox in <A HREF="http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect?firefox-alert.blogspot.com/2006/09/what-is-firefox-and-why-you-should-be.html" REL="nofollow">What is FireFox and why you should be using it</A>. In fact, you can download and install FireFox with Google Toolbar by clicking "Get FireFox with Google toolbar for better browsing" at the top of the right sidebar of any of my blogs, including this one. Having the Google toolbar gives one more benefits like being able to find the PageRank of your blog and any other sites easily, being able to search the content of a site when that site don't have a sitesearch box by using the built-in searchbox, doing spell-check for your post, etc.<BR/><BR/>In fact, I find having more than 1 browser so useful I have 4 - IE, FireFox (my favorite), Opera, Flock. You can read about the advantages of having more than 1 browser in <A HREF="http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect?blogger-tricks.blogspot.com/2006/08/why-you-should-be-using-more-than-1.html" REL="nofollow">Why you should be using more than 1 browser</A>.<BR/><BR/>If using a different browser don't solve your problem, ask again by commenting.<BR/><BR/>Peter (Blog*Star 2006 and 2007)<BR/><A HREF="http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect?blogger-tricks.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">Blogger Tips and Tricks</A>Manaturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06551634773665093456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-642860444762146155.post-52517650418840711642007-05-23T17:47:00.000+08:002007-05-23T17:47:00.000+08:00Hi there thnks for your useful blog.

To get the LAYOUT, you have to upgrade your classic template to a Beta template. You will first have to click on TEMPLATE, then click CUSTOMIZE, then UPGRADE YOUR TEMPLATE.
