Why Can't I Read my Blog?

Are you having trouble reading other Blogger blogs? Are you even having trouble reading your own? If so, it's because of a not-so-recent change by Blogger that all blogs must be "secure". If you look at the URL of my blog you will see that it begins with https:// instead of http://. I didn't do that; Blogger did. But my link still contains http:// wherever it has been saved before that change went into effect. Therein lies the problem and here's what to do about it.

Say you have clicked on a link to a blog, and now you are stuck at the Mature Content page. Here's how to get past it. At the top of your browser, where you see the blog URL, simply type https:// in front of the URL.

For example, you see spankingblog.blogspot.com
Add https://
You now see https://spankingblog.blogspot.com

Press Enter
You will now be able to see the blog once you click on the Mature Content  warning.

To fix your own blog, if it's one of the blogs you are unable to read:

In Blogger, go to Settings, Basic.

Set the HTTPS Redirect to YES.

Save. Problem solved for you and all your readers!
