Blogger also has a new design

Now is the time for Blogger to get a new design with a unified visual company that pursues both since it announced its complete makeover (or nearly so).

Blogger was already undergoing a redesign. The new toolbar that look just touches up, following the precepts presented by the company in other services also depend on text formatting. Google Docs also keeps a similar interface, so it's no surprise that the bar passes through the same treatment Blogger.

The team says that the service is not just an aesthetic change to Blogger. Besides we can see, the source code was also modified so that the act of writing posts or manage them is faster for the user. Google also says that Blogger scratch again until you reach the end result that is in the air.

If you can not access the new Blogger interface to access the address from blogger.com, the recommendation is to go in the sandbox: draft.blogger.com. At least with me it only worked after going through the gates from the bottom of Blogger, the specific site to test new features. Blogger reports that access to the new look will be released gradually.

In addition to the new toolbar, Blogger Draft you can see all the new administration area of ​​blogs (also known dome Dashboard), which the company promises a while but not made an appearance to all internet users who are still opting for hours on Blogger to speak freely in this great network.


If I liked? Yes The most important thing is that Google is adopting a unified look for all its products and services on the network. This means that over the months, we'll all get used to look for the same buttons and same features in all sites maintained by the company. Something tells me this will make life easier for many people (mine included).

Unlike Google Docs toolbar was released yesterday, a few buttons on the toolbar Blogger still colorful. Weird - especially when Google suggests is adopting the same color palette for all services they maintain.

This time it seems Google is hitting the hand with Blogger. WordPress continues advancing as blog publishing service, but its main competitor is gaining interesting features (and a better interface).
