How do I change the text marked “There’s nothing here.”
The text "There's nothing here" on Blogger.com usually appears when there's no posts published on a blog or specific label page. To change it, you'll have to add content to your blog. Navigate to your Blogger Dashboard, click on "New Post," create your content, and then click "Publish." If you want to change this text on a specific label page, you have to create and publish a post under that label. If there are no posts published to a certain label, the message will appear for that specific label. This text cannot be modified since it automatically disappears when content is added.

I unknowingly made myself an author instead of an admin. Now I cant edit my blog site
Unfortunately, an author role on Blogger limits access to certain features like managing other authors, settings, and layouts. If you're the sole user and have accidentally made yourself an author, you're in a bind because you need admin rights to change a user's role. One possible solution is if the blog is still attached to an email account that has admin privileges, you can regain access through that. If not, we're afraid the blog might be inaccessible in terms of admin rights. This highlights the importance of ensuring user roles are appropriately assigned in a Blogger blog.
