One of the biggest mistakes that many Blog Owners fail to do and that is to list their Blogs as an Adult Blog when it contains Adult material that provides the "Content Warning" Window before entering a Blog. Google will SHUT DOWN your Blog, and with out any WARNING, if your Blog does contain Adult materials and YOU DO NOT HAVE IT LISTED AS AN ADULT BLOG!!! To do this, click on "Settings" on your Dashboard, and on the "Basic" Tab, scroll down about 3/4's of the way till you see "Adult Content?" and then select "Yes". Then scroll all the way down and click on "Save Settings". This will save you from being shut down for this violation and when anyone is trying to enter Your Blog now, they will see the "Content Warning" Window before seeing your Blog and that makes the Google Team Happy!
How To Keep Your Google Backup Blog In Sync With Your Primary Blog...
If You have created a "Backup" Blog on Bloggers of Your Primary Blog and made it a private Blog for now and you would like to keep it in sync with Primary Blog in the event it is Closed, well your have two options in achieving this task and they are...
Option #1> Each time you Post a New Posting to Your Primary Blog and after You have downloaded a "Backup" copy to your hard drive of your Primary Blog, then go back to Your "Dashboard" and click on "Edit Postings" of your most recent Posting! And then switch the Edit Window to "HTML" from the "Compose" Window and select "ALL" and then select copy "ALL". Once this is done, then select "Return To Postings" and then return to Dashboard and then select, "New Posting" for Your #2 Private Blog. Once there, switch the edit Window from "Compost" to the "HTML" Window and Paste your latest Posting from Your Primary Blog into it this Blog and Publish it. This is one way to always have what you have Posted in Your Primary Blog to be in sync with Your Backup #2 Private Blog. However, if there are any comments being posted to Your Postings in Your Primary Blog, and/or reactions, they will not be in Your Secondary #2 Backup Private Blog by using this option.
Option #2> And while this one is a "TOTAL" pain in the you know what.....but if you want your #2 Private Blog to be Totally and Truly to be in sync with Your Primary Blog that includes "All" Your Postings, along with "All" their comments, and/or reactions, then in order to achieve this within "Bloggers", one would think all You would have to do is important your latest Backup from Your Primary Blog into Your Secondary Blog and they would be in sync!!! WELL MY FRIEND, YOU WOULD BE OH SO WRONG!!! This doesn't work that way AT ALL!!! And the reason why is because the import routine that "Bloggers" supplies ALL of US, this imports ALL POSTING AND ALL COMMENTS into another Blog, REGARDLESS IF they are already there or NOT!!! Well This One totally sucks, and I don't mean in a good way!!! For it just imports everything ONCE AGAIN!!! In other words, if you have already imported a backup into your Secondary Blog once, and you do it again after just one new posting to your Primary Blog, You will have Yes, the (1) new posting in Your Secondary Blog, ALONG with EVERY OTHER POSTING THAT WAS ALREADY THERE, ADDED AGAIN, ALONG WITH EVERY COMMENT THAT WAS ALREADY THERE, ADDED AGAIN!!! And while this is WAY, WAY WRONG in My thinking, for a least the Import Routine should ask us, "Hey, this posting is already here, do you want to over write it? {Yes} {Yes All} {No} {Cancel}" But No, it doesn't and that is the way it is with "Bloggers" Import routine!!!. However, there is a work around solution to this problem, like their always is with "Bloggers" and that is, before importing a "Backup" into Your Secondary Blog, if you have already done so once before, then before importing again, delete all postings and delete all comments in Your #2 Private Blog first by clicking on "Select All" at the top of the window, and then the Delete Button at the bottom of the window to delete (25) at a time and then once everything is Deleted, then do Your latest import to have a Totally and Truly in sync Blog with Your Primary Blog!! Like I said, a "total" pain in the you know what...but it works!
How To Import All Your Posting Into A WordPress Blog Even When It Has Been Closed Or Removed...
One of the nicer features of WordPress is the fact that You can import all Your Posting from A Google Blog right into A WordPress Blog along with each Postings Comments. However, the Google Blog must be UP and RUNNING in order to do this!!! And unlike Bloggers import routine, this import routine only imports what is NOT THERE and doesn't duplicate Postings or Comments like Bloggers does. Great way to keep Your WordPress Blog in sync with Your Google Blog. But if You Google Blog has been closed then this import routine will NOT WORK and you CAN NOT USE YOUR GOOGLE BACKUPS within WordPress!!!! So here is a work around solution to this problem if you have Your Google Blog Postings Backed Up on your hard drive. Just go to your Dashboard and create a "New" Blog and for the address, use your original address and add "temp" to so it looks like this...."myoriginalblogtemp.blogspot.com". You might want to make this Blog "Private" so if any of Your Old Fans are using any Search Engine and they find it, they will not have access to it thinking that they have found Your New Blog!!!! Now choose any template, it doesn't matter and don't worry about installing Any "Widgets or Gadgets" that you may have had on you old Blog, they are not needed for importing postings. If you NO longer have access to your Dashboard at all and Google has complete deleted your ID, then just create a new ID and a New Blog using "myoriginalblogtemp.blogspot.com" for the address. Once you have Your New Temporary Blog opened with any template, then import all Your Posting from your Old Google Blog's Backup file on your hard drive. Once all your old posting have been imported into your New Temporary Goggle Blog that is now UP and RUNNING, then go to You WordPress Blog and using the import routine there, when asked what is the address of Your Google Blog is, just enter in the address of Your New Temporary Blog and all your posting will be imported into Your WordPress Blog from You Temporary Google Blog. Once everything as been imported, then go back to your Google Dashboard and Delete Your Google Temporary Blog, for it will no longer be needed and Your all DONE!!! Hoping this is a BIG HELP to someone.
