Your computer just "forgot" it was there because your computer got "used to" a different screen name being used. If you're using Windows, you can clear this out by clicking the Start button on the bottom of the computer screen, then Settings, then Control Panel, then Internet options. Click on both Delete Cookies and Delete Files, and you should be fine when you return to the blogs page. If not, try refreshing by pressing Control and F5 at the same time.
I can't get back on my blog, HELP.
If you had a lot of inappropriate content, it's possible that your blog was deleted by AOL, but you should have received a warning email asking you to correct your entries first. More likely, your computer may have forgotten which screen name should be used (the one associated with your blog). Try the computer-clearing solutions mentioned in the answer above.
I want to get a layout that I can customize, but how do I do it? Can I do it if im on Young teens for AOL?
Anyone on a Young or Mature Teen account can create a RED Blog. You can change the skins (backgrounds) and layout as many times as you want. When you're looking at your blog, all the way in the very upper left corner, above everything else, you'll see something that says "Edit my blog settings." Click on that, and then click on the "Change Skin" or "Change Layout" buttons.
Is the blog free?
Yes, it's free to create a RED blog.
I was wondering if anyone bad can see this.
There are lots of safety precautions you can take. First and foremost, make sure that you don't post any personally identifying info such as full name, hometown, school etc. Second, you can choose to make your blog private (only you can see it) or semi-private (only you and people you've specifically permitted can see it). If you are on a Young Teen account, your blogs are automatically semi-private.
Hey... i just want to ask you, How do i see how many people have been on my blog?
A visitor tracker will count your number of readers. To add one to your blog, click on "Edit My Blog Settings" in the upper left corner of your blog. That will bring you to a page with four big buttons. Click on the "Change Layout" button. Then you can click/hold/drag the visitor tracker box into your layout.
How do i delete my blog?
You can have up to 10 blogs, but here's how to delete the ones you really really don't want anymore: Click on "Edit My Blog Settings" in the upper left corner of the blog you want to delete. That will bring you to a page with four big buttons. UNDER the buttons, you'll see another line of text that says, "To delete this blog, Click Here." Guess what you do then? :)
i just had one quick question...how do i view my comments? stupid question, i know, i know, but can you please answer me?
Below the post that's received comments, you'll see something like: "Comments (2) for validation," which will be linked. Click on that link and it will take you to see your comments. You'll have to check the box on each individual comment to "approve" it so that other readers will see the comment. If you don't like the comment, you can click to delete it.
I want to create a blog, but my parents are curious about the security on a blog. They want to know: I f I make a semi-private blog, How can I be sure that only the invited have access to it? How secure is a blog?
If your blog is semi-private, ONLY people you specifically invite will be able to see it. But as always, stay safe by never posting your full name, hometown, school or other personally identifying info on your blog.
How can i look at more blogs?
Go to the RED Blogs Board, where RED members advertise their blogs.
Who picks the blogs for the RED picks?
RED staffers pick 'em -- and we get 'em from the RED Blogs Board, so if you want a shot at being picked, be sure to post your blog link there. Also, read this to see all how we choose.
Can I get pictures off of the Internet to my blogs? If not how do I get pictures on my blog? HEEEEELLLLPPPP!!!!
You can post rights-free or royalty-free images to your blog, but posting copyrighted material is prohibited. If you want to upload your own pics to your blog, click "Add New Entry" and then click "Add Photo" at the bottom of the "Add New Entry" window. Click "Browse" to find the image file on your computer; then click "Upload." Add text if you so desire; then click "Save" to publish the entry.
Hi. I am on a Young Teen account and I know that I have to invite my friends to see my blog, but if I put it on the Blog Board and give the other bloggers the link, can they still view it?
Sorry -- all Young Teen blogs are semi-private. You'll still have to send invites so that members can read your blog.
I've seen Hilary Duff's blog on RED, and I really like it. Is there any possible way you can create a blog that looks like that?
Sorry, we created Hilary's blog especially for her. However, there are lots of other skins and backgrounds you can use to make your blog original. Click on "Edit My Blog Settings" in the upper left corner of your blog to customize your layout.
i just created a blog, and my skin is goth. i want to change it to graffiti, and i know how and everything, but when i do, the last part of my title is cut off. What's going on?
I'm betting that the headline font size is too large in the graffiti style. Go into "Customize" and decrease the headline font size. That should solve it.
How do i post my blog on the RED message board?
Go here to post the link to your blog. Don't know what the link to your blog is? It's located in the browser window (where you would type in a Web site address). Highlight the link, then hit Control and C at the same time to copy it, and Control and V to paste it into an IM window or email form.
So, if my blog is private, no one can even access it but me? How about just private entries? Are they displayed to visitors? Are they available to me?
Your private entries are only viewable to you.
See, I wanna change my picture for my profile. But everytime I get a picture, it won't upload, even if the new picture I wanna add is gif or jpeg. And it's annoying me, I don't get it. Help?
Hm... Are you deleting the previous picture first? Try deleting it and then refreshing (click the "Refresh" button or hold down Control and F5 at the same time). If that's still not working, post a comment here.
No fair! Shouldn't us young teens at Least be able get parental permission to Make our Blogs Public! My Parents are fine with it, but don't want me to get a mature teen account. And Frankly, I don't WANT an older account!
Sorry 'bout that! The only thing they can do to let you have a public blog would be to push your account up to Mature Teen. Your parents could then reduce all Parental Control settings (such as Web access and IM abilities) to the level you were at on Young Teen, with the exception of having a public blog.
Why do the profiles show the person's screename? what if we dont want our screename to show?
Screen names show up automatically, but you can work around this depending on what you want (or don't want). If you don't want people you know to see your blog, create another screen name. AOL accounts can have up to seven screen names, so if your family has an empty one, simply create a "secret" screen name (with your parents' permission). If you don't want to receive IMs from people you don't know, click on "Safety" on the top AOL menu bar and then "IM settings." If you don't want to receive emails from people you don't know, click on "Mail" on the top AOL menu bar and then "Mail settings."
What will happen if I get a new screename? Will my blog be erased? PLEASE HELP ME!
Your blog will still be around as long as you don't delete your old screen name. Unfortunately, blogs can't "migrate" to new screen names.
Hello.
