Way to save time with Blogger

Couple of really good new features added to blogger and related services that can help you save time and automate what you are doing.


1. Updated Editor

Updated Editor for blogger has couple of new features to make your post writing task easy.

Undo and redo feature helps you to go backward and forward without much trouble.

Uploading images has never been so easy. Now you can upload the image to your blog post and change its layout as you want. If you want to change the position or the size of the image it can be done with a single click. In the old editor you had to upload it again to change the size or the position of the image.

Next new feature is quite helpful if you copy things from other websites. Now you do not have to copy them through notepad. Simply copy the selected text to the blogger editor and click removing formatting button.

2. Amazon Associate

Recently added Amazon Associates window next to blogger editor make your life really easy when it comes to add amazon affiliate links to your post. Now you can earn money with Amazon with a single click.

3. FeedBurner Socialize

This is one of my favorite features when it comes to tweet. I am bit lazy to jump into twitter and tweet my new post. Most of the time I forget to do that. Now it is taken care by Feedburner and it automatically tweet my new post for me.

4. Zemanta

Zemanta is one great friend that you can have all over your blogger editor ( it works in wordpress and other editors as well. ) It will show you related images to your post. You can add them using one click and gives the appropriate credit to the images so you do not have to worry about the copy right. Then it shows you related posts that you can link from your post as well. My favorite is tags and links. Zemanta recommend you the most appropriate tags that you can select from as well as links to keywords.

This small features help me save lot of time and do a content rich blog post.

Blogspot (blogger) doesnot allow you to upload any files to it's servers. Basically you cannot add sitemap.xml file to a blogspot blog. However you do not have to create a separate sitemap.xml file it is automatically created for you and it is called atom.xml
