The latest from Blogger Buzz
Back from BlogWorld
October 20, 2010 — permalinkSometimes
returning to a nice, quiet office can be just what the doctor ordered
after an exhausting trip away. And for the handful of us on the Blogger
Team who just returned from BlogWorld Expo in Las Vegas, this was definitely the case.
For
the first time since the convention’s debut four years ago, we set up
shop on the tradeshow floor with our very own Blogger-themed exhibit.
Armed with demo stations, Blogger t-shirts and chip clips, and our very
own bright red marshmallow couch, we spent our time showing off the
latest features and talking to literally hundreds of folks about their
experiences with Blogger. And we learned a lot.
shaun, vardhman, chang, antin, brett, and tina on the marshmallow couch.
The
feedback that we got was both encouraging and enlightening, and we’re
still in the process of digesting everything. First, we want to thank
everyone who came by the booth to say hello, test out the new features,
spend a few minutes getting interviewed, or to tell us what we could be
doing better. Having so many passionate bloggers in one place to
interact with was an incredible resource, from the gentleman we spoke
with who has been blogging since 1995 to the fitness blogger who set up
her first Blogger blog right in front of us. So once again, thanks for
sharing!
demoing with the guys from vanilla. photo credit: brendan sera-shriar We’re
excited about what’s in store for Blogger in the coming months, and
after this trip we’re even more committed to delivering the best blog
service possible. In the spirit of keeping the conversations going,
feel free to send us a tweet or post on our wall if something’s on your mind. Or, if you want to give us some more detailed feedback, please let us know on our Product Ideas page.
Finally, we want to thank Rick Calvert for reaching out and encouraging us to be a part of BlogWorld Expo. We hope to see you all next year!
Help Us Make Blogger Better (again)
October 7, 2010 — permalinkA little over a year ago, we asked all of you to speak your mind and let us know what we could do to make Blogger better. Two thousand ideas and seventy-five thousand votes later, we had quite the laundry list of feature requests and feedback to dig through. Our team took a long, hard look at the data and spent the last year cranking out as many of these features and fixes as humanly possible.
To date, we’re happy to say that we’ve been able to launch most of the top-requested features from the list. Here are just a handful of the features you asked for which are now live:
- New Template Designer
- Spam Comment Filtering
- Built-in Blog Stats
- Improved Post Editor
- Static Pages
- Jump Breaks
- Background Image Uploads
- Accurate Post Previews
- Photo Captions
- More Default Templates
...and that’s just the beginning of the list. We’re also working on a few big improvements that we’re pretty excited about, so stay tuned as we continue to roll things out of the oven in the near future.
Just as we did last year, we’re asking for your input on our Product Ideas page. As always, our ears are open to your feedback and your input has been invaluable over the years in helping us figure out where to put our time and energy.
Please take a moment to vote on and submit ideas, whether specific feature requests or general service improvements. Think about new features that would make you use Blogger more, the things from other services which may be missing, and even the things which may be frustrating at times. We promise to once again take a long look at the feedback, and hope to tackle many of the top issues just as we did last time around.
Thanks again in advance for all your help making Blogger the best service it can be!The latest Blogs of Note
