How to Fix Mandatory 'Titles' - Blogger Gadgets - Glitch

For those using Google's Blogger or Blogspot blogging platform, you may have noticed that I believe as of today there has been a 'change' as to how gadgets are entitled which can normally be left blank. Apparently, it's now mandatory to have a title on all widgets as soon as you attempt to edit them.

This morning I was editing a widget and when it came time to save the widget red text appeared that said 'required field must not be blank'...? Huh?! Try again, same thing and again and yet again...meaning that apparently the title field on all widgets now have to contain content.

According to the Blogger Forum, this appears to be just a semi permanent glitch that they will be looking into so, in the meantime, if you need a quick fix?!

How to Fix your Blogger Gadget's new 'Title' issue...

- add the following HTML code in the title field before saving

How I found the fix...

- visited Blogger's Help Forum ...this forum can be quite helpful, whether you're just reading or if you need to ask questions.

Thankfully, no hair was pulled during the search, implementation or sharing of this quick n' easy solution ;)

Get Satisfaction and Digital Point Forum - Two very helpful resources for both online marketers & business to business enquiries.

If you've been following my recent posts regarding various pay per post blogging options you may have found a lack of information to assist in your journey. Not from me silly ;) but from the actual companies themselves. It took me a few searches and some backtracking to finally realize that all the help I need is found on the website Get Satisfaction.

Get Satisfaction is an online community of fellow bloggers, tweeters, users, consumers and companies sharing and expressing themselves with help, advice, thoughts and opinions.

For example; IZEA connects bloggers with advertisers via SocialSpark, Sponzai, IZEA etc. When the bloggers and the advertisers require assistance to perform their required tasks the faq's and help sections aren't broad enough to cover the huge spectrum of questions. Hence, Get Satisfaction which connects IZEA, their platforms, bloggers, advertisers and even the end consumer together, within a community. From a business to business perspective, this community helps to reduce support costs for companies by enabling customers and users to get answers from each other first, in a public forum type of setting. Questions and answers are archived and easily searchable by everyone.

Digital Point Forums has been a huge wealth of information for me as an online marketer and entrepreneur. There are thousands of searchable questions and answers along with what I feel to be a very helpful like minded community. If you find you have questions regarding affiliate opportunities, Google Adwords or Adsense, search engine optimization, social networks, link development, ecommerce, domain names, adult sites, copy writing and legal issues.
