Blogger's New Post Editor - Love It!

I am so loving Blogger's new post editor. Now, it feels like you're writing your blog in Microsoft Word or something. It's really making me want to blog more often!

If you haven't seen the updated or newest Blogger post editor, here's a peek:


One of the things I love about the new Blogger post editor is you have more control over the images that you upload and use on your blog posts! As shown in the example image above, when you upload a photo, you'd be given options such as the size of the image, its position or if you want to remove it. PLUS, you can now DRAG and DROP the images anywhere you want it! How cool is that?!?!

Yeah, I'm pretty excited about this whole post editor thing because now, I'm more inclined to blog more often than before.

Okay, now some of you might be confused about how to upload multiple images. The thing is you can only upload one image at a time. There are no more options to upload multiple images at once BUT you can add more photos to upload on the Photo Upload window one at a time and it will all show up one by one once they're completely uploaded. Here's an example:

Once they're all uploaded, you can click on the image you want to place on your blog post first then add the rest later on. Again, cool, huh?!?

What I hated about the old post editor was all the images are all on top of the blog post and you have to manually paste the image tags to wherever you want them placed. Now, Blogger gives you FULL CONTROL of the image positioning.

Sorry but I can't stop talking about having more control over the images because it's one of my major issues with the old Blogger post editor. I'm so glad they fixed it and I love the new editor.

Now, you might be wondering how you can activate or switch to the new editor. Well, just go to your Dashboard then go to the Settings tab -> Basic tab -> Scroll down until you see the following:

Simply select the updated editor and save your settings.

I hope you try the new Blogger post editor. I'm sure you'd love it, like I did.

Thanks, Blogger!

  2. There's a better service than this one offered by Blogger. It is called Windows Live Writer. I reviewed this software in my blog -> http://babydesertwolf.blogspot.com/2009/10/my-windows-7-experience.html

  3. Thanks for the info, James. I kinda prefer the new post editor on Blogger, though, 'coz it has everything I need now.

    I'm the if-it-ain't-broke-don't-fix-it kinda blogger so I'm pretty happy with Blogger now and I'm not kinda open for a completely new app.

  4. Blogger is quite a bit behind other platforms especially Wordpress. Any improvement is welcome.
