blog maintenance

Hey blog friends.. I was helping out a friend set up a blog and stumbled across this update that I found very useful!  It is a modern (easier) version of the "new post" form it makes it easier to manipulate images once uploaded - it does a lot of other fancy things.. but i'm not smart enough to understand them all.. go to the link below and it explains everything:

Here's how to enable this new feature:
Go to your dashboard for your blog

Click Settings
Under "Basic" (which should automatically come up) you'll scroll down until you see Global Settings
Select Post Editor: UPDATED

While you are there.. this is something that just drives me nuts leaves me a tiny bit frustrated about some people's blogs.. you know when you try to leave them a comment and instead of the very easy and smooth way with the pop up window they have it come up underneath the posting and it takes about 47 tries to actually leave a post?? maybe it's just me.  Try yours and see - if this is you - you can simplify this by going to SETTINGS, click on COMMENT FORM PLACEMENT - select POP UP WINDOW... you'll know if yours was the hard way if the "embedded below post" option was selected.  I  love leaving comments on peoples blogs.. but it is SO difficult when the comment thingy is embeded into the post.

Thanks for the heads up on the blogger update. I find moving pictures around in a post time consuming, can't wait to try the new way! Look at you - so tech savvy!

Thanks Christa! This is why I don't blog as much since it is so time consuming.
