Fix for Error: "Normal 0 false false false EN-IN X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4" 

Mostly this error message appears when text is being copied directly from MS Word to Blogger. MS Word adds many special formatting/fonts tags which are not recognized by Blogger. Hence it leads to above mentioned errors. Remember, these errors are not due to blogger templates.

To solve this problem, for new posts, simply write directly in blogger editor. Or -  if you want to copy text  from MS Word, then there are two solutions:

(1) First copy text to any ASCII Editor like Notepad and then copy it again to post on blogger.
(2) Paste copied text to the “HTML” Tab rather than the “Compose” Tab of the Blogger editor.

Fix: Allow Googlebot to Crawl Your Blogger Page.
This can be the issue if you can not locate your posts on the Google search engine.

1. Goto your blogger dashboard/settings/search preferences: Crawlers and Indexing
2. Select "Custom robots.txt" and click Edit
3. Now copy/paste this line:
User-agent: Google
Disallow:

User-agent: *
Disallow: 
4. Save Changes
The "Disallow" fields have been left open to specify there are no crawl restrictions on your site by Google.
Check to see that the robot.txt is updated by searching your url address/robot.txt in your browser:
http://yoururladdress.com/robots.txt. You should see the updated robot.txt. Note: You may not begin to see your recent posts until the next time your site is crawled.

How to see only my posts in the Posts Log.
Put an ID tag in small print at the bottom of each post. I use a personal 5 digit number but it can be anything you wish as long as it is unique to your articles alone. Then in the post section, key this tag into the search box to display only your posts bearing that tag.

    1. Daniel, your post may be as long as you like. Mine usually wind up being at least 300 or 400 hundred even here.
      When I have longer ones, I usually take those to Fullofknowledge.com
      Have you ever thought of breaking them down into parts for sites with lower word counts?

    1. I actually put an ID tag in small print at the bottom of each post. I use a personal 5 digit number but it can be anything you wish as long as it is unique to your articles alone. Then in the post section, ket this tag into the search box to display only your posts bearing that tag.
