Only You Can Use The Quick Edit Links, On Your Blog

People worry about the Quick Edit icons - sometimes, needlessly.

I was logged out - but I can still see the edit tools!

or

My visitor logs show people clicking on the "rearrange" links!!

Fortunately, no matter what can be seen - or may be clicked - only administrators will get any result.

I use the "rearrange" links for many blogs, frequently. The links are unbelievably useful, when instructing a blog owner how to remove a misbehaving gadget on her / his blog.

Some blog owners wonder if I should be providing a Quick Edit link, in an open forum topic. So, I'll provide a challenge, for you unbelievers.

Here's a gadget - "Search Me, Direct" - from the top of the sidebar, on this blog.


Here's the gadget, "Search Me, Direct", from this blog.

https://www.blogger.com/rearrange?blogID=24069595&action=editWidget§ionId=sidebar-right-1&widgetType=null&widgetId=HTML12

That's the Quick Edit link, for "Search Me, Direct". Click on the link, and see what you get. Am I being wantonly foolish?

OMG, Chuck, you dare people to hack your blog!

If I'm not logged in, as a blog administrator, this is all that I see.

(No, I'm not so wantonly foolish, that I would show you my email address!)
If you get anything else, be kind.


That's what my blog generally looks like, to my readers - and sometimes, to me.

Regardless if the tools can be seen, only I can use them. And even if the tools on your blog can be seen by somebody other than you, only you can use them.
