Heads Up! NEW Blogger changes?




I fear NEW Blogger is fooling with us again!

Where did the three little dots go (over on the right by the 'Table' square)? 
The drop down included the option to center one's text, photos etc.
It has now disappeared!

- BUT -

Actually . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . uploading photos has reverted to the original way and hopefully will stay
because it's so much better, easier and faster.

- AND -

Thankfully . . . . . . 
. . . . . . the little un-named thingamabob next to SAVE has disappeared - it was
 for changing your post to HTML and really scary if you accidentally clicked on it!

Anyone else seeing these changes today?

  1. I'm glad to have the the old way back for loading photos, although I'd adjusted to the new way. I'm still having trouble with labels -- sometimes it accepts them and other it rejects them, so I hope that sorts out right quick.

    Have a great weekend...

    1. Yes Brenda, adding labels is really annoying and sometimes they don't even remain - just disappear into thin air!!!! Blogger must have taken on more than they can handle with this update - I'm sure you, like me, were completely happy with the old way!!!!!
      It will be interesting to see if the photo uploading changes again!

  2. No changes her yet, I am waiting until blogger does it for me and then I will find out how easy or complicated it is. You seem to be getting on really well with it so far.

    1. Yes I did seem to grasp the changes after a week or so, but now I see they're making more changes so more fun and games to come!

  4. Dear Mary,
    The 3 dot symbol is still there. Click on it and see the new "more options". Choose from drop down menu.
    My HTML symbol is still there. You might try the symbol for "clear formatting" to get some of your earlier formatting out of the way.
    The reason some "labels" disappear is because you are already using it somewhere else in one of your blog posts. Click on Labels twice, a red line will appear and you are ready to list labels.
    Good Luck oxoxoxox, Gina

  5. Nothing has changed here for me Mary, although the photos appear to be loading quicker, and like Gina the HTML symbol is still there. I think that Blogger must still be experimenting, perhaps also taking on board comments that people have made.

  6. No Gina, my 3 dot symbol has disappeared, as has the HTML symbol (but there is a symbol now on the far left which you can toggle for HTML or not). Later I'll send you an email with photo of what my Blogger task bar is now showing. I just restarted laptop but that didn't change anything. Perhaps they are changing some but not others during the new set up!
    Thanks dear.

  7. I just went into Blogger to check and can report that YAY, the old way of uploading photos is back! I still have my three-dot symbol in the task bar that gives options for centering and such - but I don't remember it being there before. Oh, changes! So many at once. I hope it all settles soon.

  8. Oh dear, I haven't tried to post anything since they switched over. Apparently I'll have to re-learn some stuff. I imagine there will be lots of things going on for a few months. Sigh.

  9. I notice lots of little things when I post...I should take note of them. It is important by times to be able to post using html. I have often done so.

  10. Hi Mary :) I noticed they changed the photo upload pop up back to the good one too! It took me a while to figure out where everything was. I've been sending a lot of feedback to them, I hope everyone does so they know how to fix things to make them easier!

  11. Yes, I did notice the changes AGAIN last time I blogged! I wish they'd make up their minds. Maybe they had a lot of people complaining about some of the changes.

  12. Yes, I am seeing these changes and don't like them. Ugggg! My picture downloading went back to the old way and then it returned to the new way. I don't like it one bit. Nope, I don't!!! Cute sweat shirt.

  13. I have a friend with a blogger.com site. She says that since the change her photos don't resize properly on the page - they get cut off on the right and bottom. Any ideas how to fix that? Thanks!
