Blogger updated it's Blog Post Editor with set of new features and new user interface as part of Blogger's 1oth anniversary. It looks nice and good in part of interface compared to the old Blog Post Editor and many new set of features have been added.

To get started just log in to your Blogger account and go to Settings of your blog from Dashboard > Now go to Basic > Under Global Settings you'll find Select post editor > from there select Updated editor and save. That's it. Now you're on New blogger Post Editor. You can switch back to old version any time by following the same step and select old editor.


So what's new in this Blog Post Editor?
  • First of all it having a new user interface that looks much batter then the old one.
  • You can resize the Blog Post area where the Body content appears. this is a very good feature. In old version user was not able to resize the window but here you can! so now no struggle for space, resize the window vertically as you like.
  • Now you can add direct links to the blog via Encloser link. By this user can easily embedding content like music/audio from third-party sites.

New Buttons like"Undo" "Redo", "Text background Color" and also added "strikethrough" button.


It also change the way it was handling images when user upload it. Previously user can add images via pop up window but now user can upload the image without leaving the page and in old editor when user upload the image that time only user need to decide the size of the image and place of the image whether it should appear left side, right side or canter but new editor allow user to change the image place and size after the uploading without using the HTML editor.

(Image Uploader Window)


( Resize the Image, Place the Image, Remove the Image )

Now user also able to handle the links much batter way without touching the HTML editor. user can change the url or body content of the link or even can remove the link on the fly. New Editor also show the preview page of the blogpost same way Image uploader window works, without leaving the post page.
Now it also support for Geotagign which attach the location based information to your blog post. You can use shortcuts in Editor like press Ctrl with: B for Bold, I for Italic, P for Publish, S for Save, D for Draft etc.

So over all Blogger's New Post Editor having good improvements like
  • Improved Image Handling
  • Improved Raw HTML
  • Geotagging
  • Resize the Post Editor Vertically
  • Easy Link Editing in Compose Mode
  • Better Previews
  • Draggable Placeholders
  • A New Advanced ToolBar
There are some draw backs for this new editor like not handling the Images batter way, mean to say you can't dragging pictures around a post like previously user could do in the old version but newer version refuses to do it. New version also remove the support for native spell checker, Mostly all modern browser do have inbuilt spell checker but it would be good if blogger re add that option again. another thing is user can't upload the images in batches that was available in previous version. Ofcourse new Blogger got many good things but it also need improvements like
  • Allow to add caption in images via the image uploader.
  • Able to instruct the link, it should open in new window or not.
  • Spell checker support
