Patch for Archive Style (Hierarchy, Rounders template)

Do you use a Rounders Series template? How about a Hierarchy style archive list? If you answered both with "yes," chances are that you've noticed a slight difference in that list from other lists in your sidebar. No arrow bullets. No dotted lines. Boring! But check MY archive list. Go ahead. Scroll down the page and check the sidebar. See you soon!

Back? OK, notice anything different about my achive list? That's right. Nicely formatted. And now you can add this widget to your sidebar and get formatting that's taylor-made for your particular Rounders template. Select from the list below, click the button, and follow the instructions.

How to Contact Blogger

For those of you who would rather talk to Blogger directly to report a bug or Terms of Service violation, unofficially there's still a way to do this, nicely hidden if you try to find it on the help page.

Contact Blogger Help

There's a small caveat to this: many of the topics have been redirected to help pages, so instead of a form at the end, as you would expect, you find a link to the Blogger Help Group, which simply dumps your gripe on the rest of us. Not to worry, though. There still are some forms that are still there: "Blogger is down" under "Report a bug" still works, and so do the forms under "Report a Terms of Service violation." The form for "Suggest a feature" also still works. If you try to access bug reporting under "I found a bug in Blogger," this too is another dead end. Use "Blogger is down" instead.
