FAQ
---
Q: I keep getting a CAPTCHA error?

A: The CAPTCHA handling in the app is a known bug, to get rid of the CAPTCHA requirement you need to use a browser
and log in at http://www.blogger.com and/or http://picasaweb.google.com and/orhttp://www.youtube.com (depending on which google service requiring CAPTCHA)
with the same credentials that you're using in Blogger-droid app.

Q: I get a 403 or 404 error when trying to publish blog posts with pictures?

A 1: To be able to post pictures, you must activate your account @http://picasaweb.google.com, all pictures uploaded from Blogger-droid will end up in the default album 'Drop box'.
A 2: Your Google account may be full.
A 3: Your 'Drop box' album may be full. It seems like there is a limit of 1000 pictures in a album.
A 4: Make sure there is no unwanted spaces in your username, some keyboard software have a tendency to add a space at the end.

Q: I can't publish blog posts with pictures?

A: To be able to post pictures, you must activate your account @http://picasaweb.google.com.

Q: I want to quickly switch blog to post to, how do I do that?

A: Click the title bar in the editor view.

Q: WTF? I get ads in my notification bar! What's up with that?

A: Airpush (www.airpush.com) is used by the application and they pushes ads to the notification bar once a day. If you don't like that, don't install the app. If you still want to use Blogger-droid, buy the Ad-free version that doesn't use ads at all and have some extra features.
