How to Fix Google Blogger Profile Problems

By Susan Gunelius

When you try to create your Google Blogger profile, which accompanies your blog, sometimes you can have trouble publishing certain elements of that blog profile. If your profile picture, blogs, interests, and favorites don’t appear correctly online, you can try some of these suggestions to fix the problem:

Your profile picture doesn’t publish

Make sure that you correctly uploaded the image to the Web (by using Picasa, Flickr, or your preferred method), and then ensure that you entered the correct URL for the image.

The URL must be fewer than 64 characters, and the file size must be smaller than 50KB. Additionally, you should use a Web-friendly format, such as JPG, GIF, or PNG.

One or more of your blogs goes missing

If blogs don’t appear on your list of blogs in your profile, you can usually make some setting changes to fix the problem:

Log in to your Blogger account.

The Blogger dashboard appears.
Click the Edit Profile link on the Blogger dashboard.

The Edit User Profile window opens.
In the Show My Blogs section, click the Select Blogs to Display link.

The Set Displayed Blogs appears.
Select the check boxes next to the blogs you want to display on your profile.
Click the Save button.

Interests and favorites don’t publish.

Each of the Interests and Favorites sections of your blog profile must be fewer than 2,000 characters. If you include more characters than 2,000, those sections just don’t publish.
