Error reporting on the Blogger dashboard

In a previous post I noted that the tool tip associated with the Select all posts check box reads Select all comments instead (tsk, tsk).

The Blogger interface has a Send feedback button (circled) which I assume is for this sort of thing. Clicking it brings up a pop-up box that automatically grabs a screen shot of the page.

Unfortunately you can't have the tool tip up and select the Send Feedback option at the same time. But I can point to what I mean by selecting Click to highlight or hide info in the middle of the screengrab.

After which you can use the highlight tools to mark the issue you have or block out any sensitive information that you think Google doesn't already have.

The tool is quite nice as it will automatically select a feature if you hover over it and you can draw as many rectangles as required. Each rectangle can be deleted by hovering over it and clicking the X that appears in the top right hand corner.

Once you have marked up the problem and added a note just click SEND.

You get a tiny Thank you for the feedback pop-up and that's it.

Don't know if they will send a response, if they will do anything about it, or even if anyone looks at them. Let's wait and see and check in a month's time.

UPDATE

The new Blogger interface was updated about a year after I sent in this comment and the error was fixed on the new interface that was rolled out from May 2020.

How-to: Setting up a Blogger account with a non-Google e-mail address

As I've set up an e-mail address for the blog it makes sense to be able to post from it too. To do that I will need to set up an account with Blogger for the new e-mail address. At the same time I'll create a gmail account to both manage the blog and give access to the Google apps suite without the monthly fee. Skullcinema@gmail.com is already taken (as there is nothing new under the sun), but I can take a related e-mail address. I won't publish it here as the first address will generate enough spam as it is. Setting up a gmail account really doesn't require a guide, but it is covered here if you need one. So, off to set up an account through Blogger . First of all though, log out of Google and/or Chrome or it will pull you straight through to Blogger on the account you are logged in on. Choose SIGN IN in the top right-hand corner of the Blogger home page, and then select Use another account underneath the list of your current Google accounts. Now ...

HMRC a-no-go

A few years ago I set up a new company in the UK. The government here has invested quite heavily in digital services so this can be almost entirely completed on-line. You begin the process by notifying Companies House , the venerable UK registrar for companies (for 180 years this year), that you have set up a company. In order for you to do that on-line the Government needs to have some sort of user registration system and one that is a bit more secure than your regular website. Enter the Government Gateway , a government-wide ID system launched in 2001. It was initially designed to be a one-stop-shop that would provide a log-on solution for all of the UK government's on-line services. Whether you were a business/organisation or an individual citizen, with security credentials backed up by GCHQ no less. The Companies House process was exceptionally straightforward and a Government Gateway ID (GG ID) was set up by Companies House for the business. No problems. Another early task...

Evri-thing, Evri-where, All Over the Place

You have to wonder why Hermes went through the hassle of rebranding themselves to Evri, then you get a parcel delivered by them. Only a year ago in a desperate, and cynical, attempt to shed their woeful reputation as the worst parcel delivery company in the UK Hermes rebranded themselves as Evri. On the 14 th March 2022 they rolled out their corporate PR machine and made promises . "The new brand will also see a significant investment in its customer service as part of its commitment to ensuring that its customer service remains responsive, knowledgeable and helpful. This will include Evri opening a fully UK-based customer service team and adding 200 experts who will be based in local depots, closer to where potential issues are. It will also be upgrading its chatbot and releasing more phone lines for those who prefer to speak directly to someone." So was it a surprise when I got an e-mail about a parcel I was expecting? Well, most other couriers don't do this an...
