Huge Improvements to Blogger

Google has made many improvements to Blogger that are almost ready to be applied, and Google has made a couple of videos to hold us over. Large improvements to the Blogger dashboard and a cool HTML5 feed display are what are being showcased in the videos below. First is the "Have You Looked at Blogger Lately?" video which is explaining a few statistics about Blogger and what to look forward to in 2011, accompanied by some awesome music, in my opinion. The future dashboard looks jaw-dropping and certainly gives Wordpress a run for its money. Also, the new mobile sites template designer looks great.

Next is the new  HTML5 feed viewer for Blogger. This really is a great way to view some of your favorite blogs, but it really needs some work on the coding as I tried it in both Google Chrome and the HTML5 king, Internet Explorer 9. In both browsers every view lagged for me and on Chrome there were these odd red boxes around every image. Hopefully Google can clean up the code and make this run the way it was supposed to be run.

In the end, Blogger has established itself as a great Blogging tool, and continues to get better with interface updates and added features. Other blogging tools such as Typepad and Tumblr are struggling to catch up with  Blogger and Wordpress is now starting to look a little less impressive. Blogger is definitely my favorite Blogging tool and I believe it should be yours also. Be sure to share and bookmark using the bookmarks below.
