Bloggers! Learn about your blogs!


When is the penny going to drop for many bloggers? You have to learn about your blogs!

How many times am I going to see this sort of inane question in the Help Forum ...

I call it inane, because, firstly, it shouldn't be there, and secondly, it shows that the blogger has NEVER looked around her blog to see what's what! She is not trying to learn.
How can anyone learn to blog and not start by learning the parts of their own blog, -
like the SETTINGS !

I've written about this subject, before, too, and am constantly amazed. Is it so much easier to ask, than look and learn? Everyday, I see bloggers asking questions which they wouldn't, if they did some basic research - even going to the Help Topics.

Questions like;

How do I get my Blog nominated for 'Blogs of Note'?
How do I fix the time on my Blog?
How do I email a copy of my posts?
Can I change the URL ?
Where do I edit a post?
... and hundreds more.

Give me a break, please.

Blogger, itself, is largely to blame for this ignorance, too. When someone new to Blogger, creates a Blog, they go through some screens, then are plonked straight onto the Post Editor, to start blogging. Why?
