If you are trying to add / edit the "Pages" widget on your Blogger blog's layout you may have noticed that it isn't working lately.
Blogger Interface Has Become A Complete Mess
Since I started Blogging, Blogger CMS was my first choice, because it performs better than any CMS out there. But from some weeks, it's behaving strangely and doesn't work smooth as it used to before.
If we go back in the past, the only problem people faced with the New Blogger Interface was some BX Error Codes and it doesn't used to appear instantly, it was rare, only appeared when you make some invalid move on the CMS. Which we can call the client side mistake.
But some Weeks or month the Blogger CMS has become more unstable, I don't mean the whole Blogger CMS but only the New Blogger Interface. Both interfaces were coded differently but do the same job. Anyway, back when both Interface were available, we had the option to revert into Old Interface if we faced problems in the New Interface but now we can't even do that because Old Interface has been removed permanently from Blogger.
These problems have decreased the fun writing on Blogger. It's very messy when the post don't get Published even after click the Publish button, it throws error every time.

Post Publishing/Saving Issue
The first job of a Blogging Tool is to save and post that content on the website smoothly without any problems, it was really smooth in the past but from a month or two it has gone wild and doesn't save nor publish the post at the time we push the Publish button. (Even at the time of publishing this post, I faced the problem).
Also when you click the Publish button multiple times, it post multiple posts in the background and also create extra Drafts and that's very messy to work with.
Some Settings Are Not Saved
I don't even want to make any changes to my blogs settings, as it have gone mad too. You change some settings and after that you click the Save settings button, you see a message saying "Settings Save" but no, the setting haven't changed.I am facing it and very disappointed because my blog is not available at http://stramaxon.com (Without www.) First I thought it has some with the CNAME records, I went to my Domain management Dashboard and it's all well.I returned to Blogger and saw that I haven't check marked the option in Settings that says
Redirect stramaxon.com to www.stramaxon.com.I checked the option and Save the settings, but no matter how many times you save the settings, the check mark never stays there, it disappears and the settings is still the same as it was and because of that I am not able to redirect stramaxon.com to www.stramaxon.com
Do You Face any other Problems ?
If you have some different problems related to Blogger or the New Blogger Interface then drop your comments and also remember to use the Send Feedback button on the bottom right corner of Blogger Dashboard, it can help your problem reach the Blogger team.
Social Share Count Fluctuated After Custom Domain Change
If your are on Blogger or any other website being run on a sub-domain for example .blogspot.com or .wordpress.com you have the option to have your own purchased domain on it but if you have did it already then you would have noticed the share count on post are all reset.
Are you using social share plugins from AddThis or a self made code that works for blogger automatically in the template ? Let's say you have 100s of +1, Tweets or Like on one of your post and all the shares were made when your blog was on the sub-domain (eg. .blogspot.com, .wordpress.com) but when you changed the domain to your own purchased domain what you see is all shares have been reset.
If you don't have much information about these then at first you will shocked because all the shares on your hard work are not there anymore but is that true, should it be called an issue ?
And the social sites will send data to the share counters that redirects to this URL but when the URL is changed the counters are redirected to other URL (your new domain) and it then count shares for
If you try to add a code that will redirect to your old domain then you will see back the counters to normal as it fetches the count for the old URL but you shouldn't do it.
You need to remember that social sharing widget don't see your blog it sees the URL.

What's the reason
If you know how the share buttons work and how the web works then you don't need to read this but many people who don't have the knowledge about it would be tensed about it. The reason is that the shares were made when your blog was on blogspot domain eg.http://yourblog.blogspot.com/2012/03/some-post.htmlAnd the social sites will send data to the share counters that redirects to this URL but when the URL is changed the counters are redirected to other URL (your new domain) and it then count shares for
http://yourblog.com/2012/03/some-post.htmlIf you try to add a code that will redirect to your old domain then you will see back the counters to normal as it fetches the count for the old URL but you shouldn't do it.
What to do ?
If you ask me I would just sit back and relax, it won't have any bad effect on your blog. If the redirection of your old blog domain to the new custom domain is working then you don't need to worry at all because the old shares for the sub-domain are yet on the social sharing sites.You need to remember that social sharing widget don't see your blog it sees the URL.

How to get into Old Blogger Interface even the option is not available ?
Blogger have announced to discontinue the old Interface in Blogger, but in some countries the interface already has been removed or the option to revert back to old Interface is no longer available. In this tutorial i will show you how to get into the old Blogger GUI even the option isn't available.
Blogger is going to spoil it's own fun in coming months but in some countries it already did it. It's been a quiet long time after the launch of the New Blogger GUI (Graphical user Interface), but the Old Interface was also available on a click on a button. The option is available for Blogger users, but i have seen several cases where the user don't have the option to revert back to the old Blogger GUI.
Does that mean, Old Blogger interface is slowing being removed, this change has been experienced by some Bloggers only but many Bloggers need to revert back to old Blogger GUI because you know the BX-error codes that the new Interface issues us.
The New Interface is yet buggy and need many things need to be fixed but the Blogger support team don't seem to be interested or worried about these BX-error codes, these are mysterious codes which is a nightmare to every blogger. But if you don't get the option to remove it, then imagine how annoying it would be.
Users are issued BX-error codes at anytime and there's no specific activity for it to appear, whatever you do from editing post to changing your settings, people are being issued these Bx-errors in every section.
The only solution - The only solution that we have to avoid these Bx-error is to revert back to the old Template. But because some users are not even getting the option to revert back which was in the 'Gear' icon on top right corner of the Blogger Dashboard.
Important: This tweak doesn't work any longer. The Old Interface has been completely removed from the Blogger servers, so you can't restore it any way. Please read this about for more info.

'Shabby Blogs' is detected as a Malware site
Shabby Blogs, a well known website for Bloggers to design their blogs with backgrounds,buttons,tutorials and many more things has been blacklisted on Google.
Shabby Blogs http://shabbyblogs.com/ , has been suddenly blacklisted on Google for spreading malware. 'Shabby Blogs' has been a good source of designs for many blogger's.
But something happened strange, all Blogs and Websites using 'Shabby Blogs' elements started displaying warning message that if you proceed to the site your computer might catch virus.
I came to know about it in Blogger Help Forum in this thread, as i never used ShabbyBlogs add-on i don't exactly know how it's used. The ShabbyBlogs website is also displaying an warning message, so people can avoid visiting the site.
I am not sure what happened to ShabbyBlogs, had it been hacked ? Is it some internal errors from Google spam systems ? God knows.
But if you are using ShabbyBlogs add-ons on your blog remove it completely or Google will start display warning messages for your blog too.
I will update if i get more information on what's happening to ShabbyBlogs.

Displaying wrong Authorship in Google search results ?
One of the best feature 'Authorship markup' is obviously great for authors of blogs and websites, it takes some time to update in Google Search results but feels good when it do, it gives more accessibility for users to see the author of the blog. But the fun is ruined because of some errors that Google is facing.Let's talk
After the launch of Google+ thousands of people started verifying their authorship for their Blog to get a good display in the search results, it's very useful for SEO, at least people like to view sites that have authorship verified because it looks professional then.
I was not sure how to help with that question and was new to the problem, first of all i checked the blog's source code and i didn't find tag that cause any other Google account to show on the authorship information on the search results. Now i was confused myself, but thought about it for a minute and came up with solution that will work correctly.
The idea was to redirect your Google profile to make it appear on under your blog's search results. When someone's else profile is showing under your blog authorship info then why not your's will display when you add your markup tags ?
Here how it looks when you implemented the authorship markup validation tags to your blogs HTML. Just remember to add a good looking photo of yours of 260px*260px it's ideal size picture to be displayed on Google search results.
But what if it's not even showing correctly in the Rich Snippet tools or you are facing other problems that don't seem to be fixed ? Then refer to these forums
If you are sure that your problem is what we posted about and still no success, then please post these details in the Comments
After the launch of Google+ thousands of people started verifying their authorship for their Blog to get a good display in the search results, it's very useful for SEO, at least people like to view sites that have authorship verified because it looks professional then.
When i added the tags to verify my authorship, it took some days to properly show in the Google search results. It's feels very good to have some credits on the search results.
But a major issue has arisen, the first time i saw it was in Blogger Help Forum in this thread where a woman faced this issue and to get some help she posted the question on the forum. It feels awkward when someone else is credited for your work, wouldn't it ? The problem was not as easy to understand as i thought, the issue was very new to me and i didn't even knew what to do. But there are some points which you may remember and understand.

- There were no authorship markup tag to the incorrectly display author information Google account
- When checked in Webmaster Rich Snippet tools it didn't showed any verified markup
- There was no link to the blog (which was displaying wrong author info.) in the 'About' section of the Google+ account that was appearing in the Google search of that blog.

You just need to know how to add Authorship markup to your Blogger Blog, i have also written it on the thread in a reply or just check this tutorial.
Now check your your blog in Rich Snippet Testing tool if you did everything correct (adding authorship tag) then a demo preview will be display, but your blog will not show Authorship markup, as it takes some days for it to successfully appear in the search results. It took about 10 days or more for me.

Blogger Page Title doesn't show correctly for Dynamic templates in Firefox
Blogger's blog are facing problem to show the accurate Page Title on Firefox tab, instead of showing the Page Title, it's shows the Url
Blogger Blogs with Dynamic template aren't showing page title on Tab of Firefox, every blog with Dynamic template is affected and when opened in Firefox, it doesn't shows the Page title on tab, but shows the full Blog Address.
I am not sure what's causing it, is it the Firefox or the Blogger ? But this is really annoying, however it shows the Page title for post pages well but creates problem with Home page.
I am trying my best to figure it out what's the exact problem, i will update this post after i have some updates about this problem, hope Blogger will also try to fix this problem. I hope someone from Google sees my post and do something about this.
If you have any idea about this please reply in comments.
This is tested with Latest version of Firefox (11) and still the problem occurs. Someone need to fix it as soon as possible, i am trying my best.
White Blank box showing up on my Blog page - How to fix it?
Are you seeing blank white box on your blog or website page, those box looks too weird on the our website or blog, so this tutorial post will show what it is and how to remove it.
It all started to happen today, if you ask me what it is, my answer will be that it's a bug from facebook plugins code, Facebook is having some problems with their scripts, and thus blog page are showing iFrame on blog pages. The White box is a iframe, which is executed from the Facebook plugins code.
I came to know about this on Blogger Help Forum, i thought this problem was only of that user, but similar posts were posted by the users, then it was sure that it was problem of the Facebook plugins code after i examined the HTML code of the pages. The iframes are being usually showerd on top of the page. See this screenshot, it's from a blog that was facing the problem.
The Exact code, that's creating the problem is Facebook's JavaScript SDK, which we need to add to our HTML to show Facebook plugins, not it's gone buggy and creating iframes on Blogger. Removing it may remove the boxes (iframe) from the page, but also disable all Facebook plugin such as Like buttons, comments etc on the Blog. So we will use different method to remove it.
After seeing more blogs, i saw that the iframe is only showing on which the Facebook like box is being displayed.
Fortunately, the two iframe have been classed, so we can easily hide it without any difficulties. Follow the Step-by-step instructions.
We have to add this CSS, so go to Template tab
Click on Customize and then select Advanced tab
Scroll down, and click on Add CSS, you will then see a input area, just paste the CSS code there.
We only need the CSS code, the rest of the steps can be seen on my How to add CSS to your blogger tutorial

How to fix it?
Let's don't waste much time and get to the main point, how to hide it. To remove them permanently from template is little difficult, because it requires you to remove the code from your template which runs Facebook like button and other plugins, so we will hide it with CSS.Fortunately, the two iframe have been classed, so we can easily hide it without any difficulties. Follow the Step-by-step instructions.

#fb_xdm_frame_http, #fb_xdm_frame_https {
display:none !important;
