Blogger finally changes?
July 9, 2009 – 1:45 pm
So Google finally decides to do something with their blogging service Blogger and I first learn of it by logging into Blogger itself and not the tech media. I’m surprised. Looks like it may change for the worse. A screen shot and some commentary after the jump:
I haven’t given it a go yet, but from the look of the image above, a multitude of changes are not in the works. Blogger added a “Monetize” tab while removing the video upload button, at least for free hosted Blogger blogs. Just what the Internet needs: an easier way for spammers to make money instead of facilitating better content creation.
The only other change I see on this create a post page is the option to “add location”. (Maybe that prints out your coordinates or city. I should have tried it.) Also there is a slightly redesigned header; the useless “status” option is gone; and it looks like you can finally resize the entire WYSIWYG editor where you compose your post.
I’ll have to dig deeper into the changes, but I must ask myself: why am I still using Blogger?
