I noticed a few days ago that my archive links don't work. If I click on them, all I get is a 404 error message "url not found". I've studied and studied my template, compared it to previous templates where the archive links did work and it all looks the same there. Next I went to a friend's blog and "viewed source" so I could see how blogger had their archive links set up, compared that by "veiwing source" with my blog open and FINALLY discovered that my blogspot hosted, blogspot default, links are broken!
Now what in the hell am I supposed to do I fix their default? I've sent an email to blogger on two occasions in the past 5 days about the problem but they must have their head up their butts about the NEW blogger and aren't taking time to reply with a fix for the old blogs.
When I view the source of my blog, this is what one of the archive links looks like:
/rchives/2003_02_01_whatsupdownsouth_archive.html">02/03You can see, where I've highlighted, that
archives is spelled
rchives. I think this is what is causing the broken links. Does anyone know how to fix this with it being a blogger error?

nope, I have no idea how to help, but wanted to let you know that you are the only blogger I can't pick up an RSS feed on in order to put you in my bloglines I guess they have to have one...instead of getting an update when you post, I just visit you once a day to see if you have a new post up...
:-D
Sorry, I know nothing! And, as far as the answers (below) I didn't know much! That was very interesting about the pear in the bottle, though. Someone was really smart to come up with that! :)
I'm suddenly glad I didn't switch to the new blogger. Of course, I don't show my archives anyway.
I haven't switched to the new blogger, they won't let me cause of the size of my blog. There are almost 4 yrs worth on entries on here.
I understand nothing about the RSS thingy? Can't figure it out.
Well, it's definitely the "rchives" instead of "archives" that is causing the links to be broken but as to how to change it, I have no idea. You may just have to wait until Blogger decides to answer your email! If you can't access it to change it yourself, then they'll have to do it for you...eventually! Sigh!
I have never had much problem at all with blogger, new or old. I did switch and all went smoothly. At times things maybe slow or I can't add photos or something but it is short lived. I pray they fix it very soon. That would be annoying for sure. Have a great rest of the week! Hugs!
Can you move it over to your Other blog? might work there.
Can you not access the template and make the change there, Brenda? It's been a while since I've had my blog on BlogSpot but I seem to recall being able to dick around in the set-up (?)

Never mind -- I just realized how silly a question that was 'cause it's probably the first thing you did. Duh. Sorry : (
No clue on how to help--it's been eons since I used blogger. I'm thinking about blogging again and trying to figure out which platform to use.
So how's ARK these days? We're hot and cold over here. Hope you're all well.
Hope by now you have it worked out! I wouldn't no where to start!
