Took months to track them down and apologize. I think I knew who was doing it. To block followers: go to your dashboard. Click on the words "25 followers" or however many, in black print. It will take you to a window showing you all your followers and you can click on their picture or name to take you to their profile or site. You can also click "block this follower." Easy. I will not be liking the new interface: too much like Wordpress and I don't like that.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03816096081381689162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7852800943772489474.post-88154881049610029312011-10-05T17:01:15.964-07:002011-10-05T17:01:15.964-07:00Just started to learn the old one!

Now I can't find the dashboard, or if you can tweak the look of the blog. But if, as so many of you have said, blogs were getting hacked, who cares if I can't torture myself with changing stuff.Dolores Monethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04659535699685296311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7852800943772489474.post-70091040657197835292011-09-12T10:48:58.109-07:002011-09-12T10:48:58.109-07:00The malware infection must have been just on a par...The malware infection must have been just on a particular gadget, though - hard to imagine Blogger per se being hacked.

Now I'll have to investigate to see what it's all about. <br /><br /> The malware problems have been a real hassle to many of us. The situation has made me evaluate several aspects about my blog. I've been cleaning up my page and getting rid of a lot of things. A back up plan is a good thing to have on blogs or anything for that matter.<br /><br /><br />Lee<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a>Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7852800943772489474.post-73468207579635758882011-09-12T05:55:39.693-07:002011-09-12T05:55:39.693-07:00Jessica, That means bad news for anyone who prefer...Jessica, That means bad news for anyone who prefers the old interface. It sounds like they gave U.S. bloggers the choice-- along with a little box to click to give feedback, meaning we are the guinea pigs. Probably letting us choose in exchange for feedback but the fact that you got switched over means we will, too. <br /><br />Tamara, Did you read Jessica's comment? Better get used to the change, I think it's going to become permanent real soon. It took me forever to get used to the new Twitter, I kept going back to the old one.<br /><br />Murr, LOL!<br /><br />Charmalot, I'd love to have you involved with the blog tour, will email you! The cover for Uncut was done by an artist, back when WiDo hired professional artists to do original artwork for its covers.

These things give me headaches (*sigh).<br />You told me to let you know if I want to be included in the list of book review blogs on your sidebar. That would be absolutely great, thank you.<br />Hope you and the giraffe are fine and enjoying your weekend.Delia (Postcards from Asia)http://wrongspelling.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7852800943772489474.post-50759333316075618052011-09-10T19:46:43.667-07:002011-09-10T19:46:43.667-07:00Scary.
