A few days ago my blog went to hell in a hand basket when I viewed it on my ipad.
The banner at the top of the page was blurry.
My pictures were tiny.
MY SIDE BARS HAD DISAPPEARED!!!!!
Then I noticed that this was happening to lots of other blogs too.
BUT IT WAS ONLY HAPPENING TO BLOGSPOT BLOGS!!!!
When I viewed it on my laptop, everything was hunky dory.
Soooooo.....
I did what I always do when I have a blog problem.....
I called Amy Chalmers.
She always knows what's going on in blog land.
SHE DIDN'T KNOW WHY THIS WAS HAPPEING!!!!!
Wellllll.....
This ain't good.
no no no no no.....
WHAT TO DO?????
WHAT TO DO?????
WHAT TO DO?????
Sooooo.....
I went onto a google chat room, and I got the answer.
I feel so smart and techie and with it.
First.
If you want to see a blog the old way, and it's showing up all tiny words and pictures.
Scroll to the bottom of the ipad page and you'll see where you can click on
"view web version"
Click on that and the page will reload the way it shows on a real computer.
(Another way to fix this is to go to the web address where you type in the blog name and change the m=1 at the end of the address to m=0, then hit return.)
(you just have to change the 1 to 0)
(that's how easy it is!!!!!)
(So for all the bloggers who don't read this post,
and don't know how to fix this problem,
you can still easily see it the way you want!!!!!)
Second.
If you want to fix your own blog and only have people see it in the original web version
(with side bars and big pictures, etc.)
go to this website.... and it walks you through the really simple steps to fixing this upsetting problem.
Or follow my directions here.....
It's simply a matter of clicking on one button in your template setting to change it back.
Go to your dashboard and click on template.
You'll see two images:
Live on Blog.....and.....Mobile
Under the Mobile image you'll see a little gear
click on that and you'll be given an option of how you want to show your blog on a mobile device (ipad, iphone, etc.)
I clicked on
No, show desktop template on mobile device
Then I clicked save.....
and that fixed it!!!!!!!!!
It's really easy.
Blogger must have switched everyone to the mobile setting as the default,
you just gotts to change it back.
Good luck.
Hope this helps.
Later Gater
