An Updated Editor
Blogger's latest features help link describes all of the important features that were implemented and released in celebration of Blogger's 10th year birthday!
If you are a Blogger user, you can enable the new editor by going to your blogs Settings | Basic tab. Just about near the bottom you will see the "Select post editor" label with the "Updated editor" option. Simply click on this new option, and save your settings! Then you're done.
Many of the enhancements and improvements include:
- Improved Image Handling
- Improved Raw HTML editing
- Geotagging your posts
- Vertical resizing
- Easier link editing
- Safari 3 support
- A new Preview dialog
- Placeholder image for tags
- New Toolbar
From just this short time using this new editor, we have found it to be immensely more friendly and easier to use. We suggest all of you give it a try!
Thanks Blogger & Happy Birthday!

Hi Blogger!
ReplyDeleteI really like the new editor, but I haven't found a way to upload video with it yet, so I switched back to the old version.

ReplyDeleteYou're right about not finding a way to upload video into Blogger posts using the new editor
Read the post:
What's going on with Google Video Uploads
Originally, Blogger uploaded videos to "Google Video". But now, apparently, google is not offering this any more. That is why you don't see the upload video icon anymore.
Google suggests that videos be uploaded to YouTube or Picasa first. Then, you can add them to your blog (but first you'll have to go to your Settings | Formatting tab, and use the link field to enclose audio files in your posts (I don't know if this works for video).
Alternately, you will have to add an html video widget
Good Luck
