Blogger rolled out a series of new features and bug fixes which should address some issues that users had. The post may contain updates that were already released, however were not publicly announced.
Today’s Fixes:
- The “Add another image” link in the image upload box now works even if you haven’t filled in a URL.
- The labels field in the post editor autocompletes more predictably when one label starts with the same words as another.
- 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.
- Videos uploaded through Sony Ericsson phones now appear as enclosures in the blog’s Atom and RSS feeds, so they can be retrieved with a video podcast client.
- Miscellaneous typos and translations corrected.
Other Recent Changes:
- New blogs have OpenID commenting enabled by default.
- XFN
rel="me"links between blogs and profiles.- Adding more than 5 poll choices now works in Internet Explorer.
- The search box on the Edit Posts page is now available in all supported languages.
- The “www” redirect option is now available for custom domains that end in “.co.uk.”
- New “Related Resources” box on the Dashboard links to AdSense, Google Reader, and Picasa Web Albums.
Updates from any blogging platform/service provider are great when they security, compatibility, and other nuisance errors. While you don’t have to update any software, you can still take advantage of or notice the updates as they are released - including the redirect for .co.uk domains, when adding another image, and the smaller edits, such as typos.
