I'm counting six "bloggered" links. Backup links are the best workaround. A triple click selects them.

Are you guys using Chrome or Safari?

Peter Pan said...

I'm using Firefox. My backup browser is Pale Moon.

The links are OK when I post them. Blogger changes them later, no idea why.

Tom Hickey said...

There is no site manager. Blogger is automated and has a simple entry form for links, images, and videos. Nothing about adding anything to the URL. Blogger converts all that to HTML automatically.

I have put links in with the full URL and tested them. Later they don't work. I fix them again and test them and later they are changed again. This happens as I gather links before I post the page. I've posted the page and then checked the links in another browser and they work. Later, they don't. Mystery indeed.

I will try (target="…)

Thanks.

BTW, this never happen before they "upgraded" Blogger.

Peter Pan said...

The issue hasn't been fixed, therefore it's not a bug, it's a feature.

Links work fine.
