Writing Online - URGENT Blogs at risk of deletion!

A friend has just written me that several of her blogs have been deleted. Title issues such as the title must match the url are being enforced NOW.

Google decided to enforce the rule of title matching the url on 5 of my friend's blogs.

If you are using a Google product such as Blogger or Blogspot you must make sure you have signed into your blogs and also that titles and url's match. Don't be a victim of neglect.
