The white Shasta daisies are starting to bloom. These were always my favorite flower as a child.
This week on Blogger Tips Monday, I’m giving you a preview of some things to look forward to if you use Blogger as your blogging platform.
Blogger has rolled out lots of new things for us to play with on our blogs in 2010. We got the New Template Designer to help us design the blog we truly want, real-time stats, comments spam filtering, mobile templates and some fantastic web fonts.
This is what they say through the grapevine is in the works for us. A glimpse of the new user interface.
Here is an example of our current post editor…
Here is a view of the upcoming one…
Below is a view of our current Dashboard…
And here is a peek at the new one…
There will also be a new content discovery feature that lets you uncover related content based on the topics of the blog you’re currently reading. Here’s a peek at that…
Now if they could just get that spacing problem figured out. What would you like to see Blogger roll out next?
Happy Monday Brenda, Thanks for all these tips-they are helpful for those of us who feel challenged at times with Blogger. I have found I can’t use the advanced template design feature because I have the original one. There are days when I just get so frustrated with blogger but then I call my grown daughter and she works it all out for me.
Thanks for the peak into what we’ll be seeing soon.

Thanks for the heads up Brenda! Hopefully I can figure out the new stuff as it comes along, but you never know when my brain decides not to cooperate….LOL. Love the Shasta Daisy pic!
Happy Spring Y’all….from Houston!
love the upcoming changes, brenda. i’m hoping they have all the quirks worked out.
if you’ve ever been to the help forum, it’s a little confusing without an immediate way to connect with the ‘power that be’ regarding questions/problems.
i’d like to see an easier way to communicate problems directly to ‘blogger’, with a realistic response time.
happy monday.

Some of the changes sound pretty exciting. I just hope we don’t have a whole bunch of problems to go with them.
Yes, Brenda, you are my Guardian Angel in Blogland. I wish they could tell me how to get photos from EasyShare to my blog without having to send photos all over my computer. But I am getting some
“live” help this week. And working with Vicki, too. xo,
Hi Brenda! Oh, it is exciting about the changes and I’m just hoping I can do all the things! I still post using the old blogger thingy. The new one with the huge spaces drives me up the wall!
Now I’m having a Heart of the Home Party – Show Us Your Favorite Cupboard on April 5th. I hope you’ll come because I know you have lots of neat cabinet areas around your kitchen!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia
I’m with Molly when it comes to getting help. I’d like for that to be improved by an actual answer, not sifting thru others’ questions and perhaps an answer and perhaps not. I haven’t found it helpful, ever! And whatever changes come about, I hope that all the wrinkles have been ironed out BEFORE it’s presented.
Happy rest of the week to you.

Oh my! You mean I have to learn something new !?!?
Hope it is easy to figure out.
Thanks for the information.
How cool is all this. Ya I hear you…I can never figure out the spacing issue…somedays it drives me nuts.
Happy Monday. xoxo
Great post!xx
I still haven’t got all the “old” stuff figured out!!! But, change is good… Kind of nice to hear I’m not the only one with spacing issues.
Best,
Susan
Very cool new stuff. Can’t wait to get playing. Lots going on behiind the blog land here. great to take a stroll to visit all my buddies. I can’t believe you already have blooms.
By the way, just how are you finding out all these goodies and updates. Do you work for blogger?
Daisies already? They are just barely out of the ground here.
The one thing I wish I could do on my blog is make the side bar pictures bigger without them overlapping my post. I’ve adjusted everything but can’t seem to figure that out or else it’s just not possible.
Love reading about the new things coming to Blogger.
Hi Brenda, I popped over to visit back and enjoyed looking through all your gorgeous photos! And then spotted this and really appreciated the heads up. Thank you for the info and the visit!
