Even better new for those who use Blogger. Apple’s fixing Safari’s Javascript failing so you can use the more WYSIWYG interface Blogger has that never worked terribly well on Safari.

This is great news. I was thinking of trying to take the plunge, but now may wait.

Thanks for the update

So does the upgrading of the RSS/Atom mean that they will be available for all users, or just subscribers?

This is great news. For awhile I wondered why Google would purchase Blogger and not improve it. Then I stopped wondering. I’m still glad to hear about the changes.

Eh, most of the changes only affect those who need WYSIWYG. I prefer writing my own code; my blog is already as customized as I like.

Though I do appreciate the comment feed feature…

danithew, Google made sweeping changes to Blogger.

Personally, I wish they’d introduce better comment management tools.
