comment Is there a way to save and open “workspaces” in Google Drive?
'Does Google Drive have a concept of a saveable "workspace"?' No. Not to say they wouldn't add something in the future. If you are syncing Drive files with your hard drive, you could always use your OS to open multiple files using your file explorer (or equivalent).

D'oh! Of course! Why didn't I think of that? (I've removed my incorrect guesses.)

comment How can I deactivate or make private my Wordpress.com as well as Wordpress.org blogs?
WordPress.com questions are on-topic here. WordPress.org questions are better off at WordPress Answers.

comment In copy/paste, Google Docs says “These actions are unavailable via the Edit menu, but you can still use Ctrl C” etc?
This doesn't really answer the question.

Please edit your question to include this information. Comments are, by their nature, impermanent.

Then, unless you archive them, they'll have the "Inbox" label.

comment How do you create a filter in Gmail that will apply to all composed/sent messages?
(Chat doesn't work for me.) It appears the simplest way to have any sent message be acted on is to put "me" in the "from" field in the filter. This doesn't match up with Google's own documentation, however.

Sounds like a bug. Have you contacted IFTTT support?

comment Gmail id over capacity
There are several related questions already asked here. Have you looked at Running Out of Space on GMail, Now What? or gmail account is full and can not free space by deleting emails or Gmail account storage full ? (I mean, look in the gmail tag.)

comment Why must I have another gmail account? I just want to get into my old one.
I'm afraid we don't have enough information here to help you. Can you be more specific about the steps you're following and the literal text of the messages you're receiving? Even better, screen shots.

comment How do I write an HTML character without the browser converting it on Google Sites?
It really depends on the context. Where are you trying to do this? Do you want the code to appear or the actual character?

comment How do I set up a small mailing list / newsletter with Gmail?
"Last user"? I assume you mean based on the date of the post. Note that answers can be sorted in several different ways, so terms like "last", "previous", "above", really have no context here.

comment How do I add blank lines when composing plain-text Gmail?
I just did a test, sending to a Gmail account (and viewing through the web app) and also to a different account that I access through Outlook. The blank lines I was expecting were there, except for the blanks at the end of the message (which Gmail apparently trimmed). It looks like it's working to me. We're going to need more information. What browser/OS? Are you using the "new" compose? Do the blank lines appear correctly while you're composing the email? If not, what's your keyboard layout? Please add this information to your question.
