The Root Compelling Argue To Purpose The Novel Blogger Gui (2011)

Up to this month, this could alone last done yesteryear manually editing the links, together with inserting the link modifier

Open this link inward a novel window.

One Footstep Forward, 2 Steps Back

Earlier today, I observed one novel characteristic inward New Blogger GUI (2011) - the Post Editor "Add or take away link" sorcerer directly offers the choice to

Open this link inward a novel window.

This, inward my opinion, is a major improvement inward the New GUI (in general), in addition to inward Post Editor (in particular). H5N1 few minutes later, to my disappointment, I discovered a major blueprint deficiency, inward Post Editor.

Having acknowledged the novel option, inward the update of to a greater extent than or less other post, I striking "Update" - in addition to flora myself dorsum inward the Posts list, positioned at the superlative of the listing (with the lately added postal service The First Compelling Reason To Use The New Blogger GUI (2011)) at the superlative of the display. My lately updated postal service Make Links Open In H5N1 New Window, written long ago, was nowhere to survive found.

The might to furnish straight to Post Editor mode, for a given postal service merely updated, was an choice given to us, some fourth dimension ago, after much pleading. It appears that choice is directly gone - in addition to i time again, nosotros accept to kickoff from "Posts" in addition to re locate whatever given post, merely updated. Any one-time post, merely updated, is somewhat unlikely to survive flora on the domicile page of "Posts", inward whatever weblog of whatever meaning size.

My personal publishing strategy (shared alongside a few people) is to publish a post, in addition to thus re release it, repeatedly, alongside i uncomplicated goal.

Make each postal service also written equally possible.

Some fourth dimension ago, I observed that I mostly re release whatever given postal service an average of maybe six times the issue of paragraphs inward the post. That way that I will, possibly, re release this postal service 42 times, inward an endeavor to brand this postal service equally clearly written, in addition to equally complete, equally absolutely possible.

Having striking Publish above, I volition directly survive returning to the Classic GUI. My morn of experimenting alongside the New GUI (2011) Post Editor, in addition to the choice to "Open this link inward a novel window.", is directly ended. Having to re locate whatever given re updated post, inward "Posts", is distracting - in addition to interferes alongside my re publishing efforts.

One pace forward, followed past times ii steps back. This is an sense non unknown, inward the basis of Blogger blogging.
