The icons on the text editor enable you to control how your post looks, ranging from the type and size of font and the layout of the text, to the insertion of emotions.

All the icons on the editor have their own descriptions which become visible when you hover your cursor over the icon in question.

Select the post or comment you want to edit, either by clicking the post header to view the post and comments, or going to your profile page and selecting posts and selecting the relevant one.  

Click the edit link next to the post or comment you want to change.

Change the post then click update and that’s it.

Unfortunately if you are not registered then we have no way of proving that you actually created the post or the comment. Because of this we cannot allow non-registered users to edit posts or comments.

If there is a simple change that’s needed, like a spelling error, use the 'Contact Us' link at the top and let us know what post or comment needs changed and what the change is. We will change it.

At the moment the only way to enter an image is to select an existing one from the drop down box in the post editor, the one that looks like a tree, or to enter the url into the url box in the editor.

Soon we will allow you to upload imaged directly to the posts. This is not ready yet however.

If you are registered then simply login, look at your profile and select “My Images”. Select the image you wish to delete and click delete. If the image is currently used in a post then the image will not be instantly removed. Instead an e-mail will be sent to the
administrator who will delete the image and replace it with an alternative.

If you are registered yes, simply click the post and select edit.
If you are unregistered then you can’t, you can however 'Contact Us' and we will update it.

A captcha is a method by which a website ensures a human is accessing the site for the purpose in question and not an computer generated program with the intent of accessing the site for dubious purposes. The captcha is a simple visual test or puzzle that a sighted human can complete without difficulty, but a computer program cannot understand or read.

The captcha is intentionally distorted to ensure a computer program cannot understand or read the text displayed and so on occasion, the text can be difficult for a human to read.

If after numerous attempts you are still experiencing problems with a captcha failure then please select the 'Contact Us' link at the top of the BlogGlasgow home page and provide us details of the difficulty being experienced and a contact email address. We will investigate and rectify the problem if required and get back to you as soon as possible.

If you are struggling to decide which category your post sould be in, then as a first choice we suggest Chat. Then consider if you were reading the post, which category would you expect it to be under.

If you still cant decide then Chat will do fine.

The internet has grown quite large now with various technologies implemented in the browsers sometimes well, sometimes not. Because there are different browsers, each with their own
interpretation of the standards, there are different ways to show the same information.

Some don’t work on all the browsers, and while we have attempted to support all browsers, this site is too large to test every aspect on all browsers. You can help us fix the problem by using the 'Contact Us' link at the top of the page.

No idea. There should be an error message at the top of the screen detailing what the issue is. If the error message doesn’t allow you to fix the problem then there may be an internal error.
