We haven’t made one of these posts for a while, so here’s a quick summary of some of the changes and fixes we’ve made today and in the past few weeks.
Today’s Fixes

URLs in the Name / URL part of the comment form are now validated.
Header fixes for the 897 and 565 templates.
The draft / published / scheduled filters on the Edit Posts list now work reliably in Internet Explorer.

Miscellaneous typos and translations corrected.
Other Recent Changes:

XFN
rel="me"

We’re bidding farewell today to
Eric Case

anything
— for Blogger. Since then, he’s answered support tickets, launched
blog
s, designed features, hung out with
MC Hammer
,
eaten
very slowly without
drinking
, and, for the past year, been our
product manager
, with all that that
entails
.
We’ll miss you, Eric! You made Blogger better. Good luck with your next
endeavors
, and we’ll be reading your
blog

Blog List, Scheduled Post Publishing on Blogger in draft
April 02, 2008
Have you tried out
Blogger in draft
, Blogger’s experimental features site, recently? Blogger in draft is a version of Blogger with features we’re trying out before we “publish” them to everybody on the main site. (See our original announcement: “
Blogger... in draft
.”)
If you’re feeling adventurous, all you need to do to try it out is
log in to
draft.blogger.com
instead of
www.blogger.com
. If you see the blueprint logo then you’re in the right place.
Our two latest features, which you can try out now on
draft.blogger.com
, are:
Scheduled Post Publishing
If you write a post on Blogger in draft and set the post’s date and time to some time in the future, we’ll schedule the post to appear on your blog at that time, and not before.
Blog List
Add a blogroll to your blog’s sidebar. The Blog List is powered by Google Reader, so it can show when each blog was last updated and even include post titles and snippets.
Keep in mind these features are still being worked on, and let us know if you find any problems.
We have other page elements on draft, too:
Help your readers subscribe to your blog in their favorite feed reader with the
Feed Subscription
page element.
Add any of the thousands of Google Gadgets to your blog’s sidebar with our
Google Gadget support
.
Search over your blog, your Link Lists, or all the pages you’ve ever linked to with the
Search Box
.
We post the latest news about Blogger in draft to the
Blogger in draft blog
. Stop by often and write comments about how the draft features are working for you.
Announcing Google Weblogs (beta)
April 01, 2008
Update:
This was an April Fools Day post. :)
Today we’d like to offer you a sneak peek at an exciting new product we’ve been working on:
Google Weblogs
.
Since Google bought Pyra Labs in 2002, we’ve been dreaming, planning, and implementing the next revolution in personal publishing:
Google Weblogs
.
Google Weblogs
, or “GWeblogs,” or “Gblogs,” which will launch later this year in a public beta, is the next revolution in personal publishing. Here’s what you can expect:
Don’t limit yourself to “reverse chronological” publishing. Our advanced Google algorithms put your
best content at the top of your blog
. Even if your later work goes downhill your previous posts will still shine.
No more template languages to mess with or sidebars to get right. Our advanced Google algorithms
automatically populate your blog’s sidebar
with the most relevant possible content.
Stop worrying about your PageRank or your search engine optimization.
Post directly into Google search results
for maximum visibility.
Save your readers time and effort. We’ll automatically
extract the most relevant sentence from your post
for the index page, along with any necessary ellipsis.
We'll also put some words in bold!
Your blog’s
header will stay fresh
with new images from our team of artists, each and every anniversary of a scientific achievement.
Unsure of what to post about? Just click “I’m Feeling Lucky” and we’ll “take care” of the rest!
Excited? So are we! Take a look at this
sneak peek of Blogger Buzz
, powered by
Google Weblogs
.
We’ve put together a quick video tour to take you through the highlights of
Google Weblogs
.
Check it out!
