How to Work with Archived Blogger Posts

By Susan Gunelius

The longer you write your blog, the more posts you create. Blogger archives those posts for you, but you can modify those archived posts how you see fit. To find old blog posts, simply click the Posts link from the Blogger dashboard to open a list of your blog posts, as shown in this figure.

If you’ve been blogging for a while, this list can be very long. To make your search a bit quicker, you can change the number of posts displayed per page by selecting a different number from the Posts Per Page drop-down list.

Luckily, you have a few options to help you find specific posts from this list:

Narrow your search by selecting a label from the Labels list on the left side of the Edit Posts page.
Enter a search term in the Search text box to narrow your search to posts that include specific words.
Click the Drafts, Scheduled, or Published links on the right end of the Your Posts line to narrow your search based on the status of your posts.

You can work with your archived posts in a number of ways:

Edit: After you find the post you want to edit, simply click the Edit link next to the post title on the Edit Posts page, as shown in this figure, to open the blog post editor, where you can modify and republish that post.
Delete: To delete a post from your blog, click the Delete link to the right of that specific post. A new page opens, asking whether you’re sure you want to delete the post. Click the Delete It button to delete the post (see this figure).

Deleted posts are immediately removed from your list of posts. After you click the Delete It button, that blog post is deleted permanently — you can't retrieve it.
