In my last post I talked about the new and improved features in Blogspot like better comment form and star ratings and now its time to look at the rest of the features. All these features are cool but they are called in draft for a reason. So before you try out any new feature be sure to check out the limitation of each of this new functions. Best place to do that is the Blogger in Draft blog.

New Post Editor

Post editor has seing some significant improvements in blogger in draft. There are several new features added but the best of them all is the improved handling of images.Below are the few of the features

• You can upload all the images you want for a post at once and keep them as a gallery.This is very helpful if you are not sure about where to place the images in the beginning of the post.A great time saver
• Immediate resizing of images with just a click
• Much better drag and drop facilities

Other than that following features are added.

• Much improve raw html for exprience users who uses tables and other tags
• easy linking  ( Very helpful )
• A much better preview window where you can see it exactly as how its displayed in your blog. If you have tried the preview in the current blogger you will know that it sucks big time.This is another great improvement by the blogger team.

Webmaster Tools for Blogger

Need to track your sites statistics and how Google sees it ? Before this new introduction you needed to add it through Google webmaster tools and get it verified. Now all you need to do is go to your new dash board , go to the tools and resource at the end click the Webmaster tools link. Blogger will automatically do the verification for your. Don't you just love the Blogspot team

The above two features and the the two features mentioned in my previous post are the ones I liked most in the new features. There are some more features that you might find interesting so I listed them below.

• New Posting gadget where you can post to any of your blogs through your Google home page
• A new page element - Search Box
• Ability to export your posts to a single file and of course the ability to import them
