The latest tips and news from the Blogger team
Blogger Following for All
September 11, 2008
A few posts ago we let you know about
Blogger Following
. The feature lets readers publicly subscribe to your blog (so you know who's reading) and adds a Reading List to your Blogger Dashboard so readers can stay updated with the blogs they follow.
Now it's available to
all
users in English. We'll keep you updated about when we launch it in Blogger's other languages.
To learn more about Following, read the
Blogger Buzz Post
or the
Google Blog Post

New stuff from the Picasa folks
September 02, 2008
For more than a year, you have been able to view all the photos you've uploaded to your blog in
Picasa Web Albums
. It's been good -- having a dedicated photo management interface comes in handy when you want to do things like embed Blogger photos elsewhere on the web, order prints, create slideshows, and so on.
Today, Picasa Web Albums has undergone a significant redesign, and is launching a slew of new features to help you better organize and enjoy your photos, including all of your Blogger Photos. Along with a much-refined interface, there's a powerful new '
name tags
' feature that helps organize your photo collection based on who's in each picture. For fun, check out the new
Explore page
, or take a look at the Recent Photos stream (unabashedly inspired by
Blogger Play
).
Oh, and one more thing: If you use
Picasa
(the client software) to edit and organize all the photos on your PC, we're happy to report that Picasa's venerable '
BlogThis!
' button still sits front-and-center in the next generation of Picasa software, which also launches today as
Picasa 3 (beta)
. If you've never tried it before, now's a great time to start -- Picasa 3 includes plenty of new
photo-editing
goodies
that can make your blog's pictures look better, like a powerful retouch tool, greatly revamped photo-collage and slideshow creators, simple video editing, desktop/web sync, and more. To learn more, swing by the
Google Photos blog
.
