About this site -- Originally created as a sort of addition to the Blogger help forums, the intention was to provide answers to some frequently asked questions, and annoying problems. I wonder if anyone still comes here?
About me -- My name is michael paige, and for the next 30 seconds I will be your host.
Archives -- As long as Blogger is working properly these might just work.

archives not showing up
Note: This is an old fix for this problem and is no longer valid. It is here for archiving purposes only and shouldn't be used.
1. Copy the HTML from your template into a text editor or some place where you can copy it again later.
2. Change your template to one of the default templates. Pick one that is similar to the one you want to use. If the archive links are included on your main page then i suggest using 'Chroma'. If your archives use an archive index page, then i suggest setting the template to 'Simple'.
3. When Blogger brings up the screen that says your changes have been made, click the link on that page that says 'edit view'. When you get back to the edit posts window click the ORANGE button.
4. When it's through publishing, click the 'view web page' link on the left side of the black bar, and confirm that the new template has the Archive links in it.
5. Now go back to edit your Template. Delete any HTML in the edit window. Copy your original template HTML back into the edit window and hit 'Save Changes'.
6. When you are back on the edit posts page click the ORANGE 'Publish' button again.
7. When it's through publishing, click the 'view web page' link again. Hopefully, your Archive links should be back now.
BlogSpot users take note: DO NOT REPUBLISH YOUR ARCHIVES!!! This is what seems to be messing things up in BlogSpot. You shouldn't ever have to republish your archives while you're on BlogSpot. Even if you change your template.
