Blogging is a feast or famine activity for me. Sometimes the topics and words just flow out as they have recently. The recent update to Blogger’s administration interface and editing to be themed more like Google+ and Docs is long deserved and an excellent enhancement. It does miss the ability to handle the displaying of syntax highlighted code, but you can still do it if you want to always view the HTML while writing. Sometimes I like using the web interface, sometimes I like to use an actual application. It isn’t very obvious that you can open Blogger drafts and in fact it took me a while to figure it out. In hind sight, it is rather easy to open your draft posts in Windows Live Writer.
- Start from a normal post window
- Click the drop down menu to the left of the “Home” ribbon menu
- Click “Open recent post”
- Select your blog in the left pane
- All of the posts on the blog will display in the list area on the right
At first glance, it looked like it was only posts that were published. This however is not the case; it contains a list of ALL published, scheduled, and drafts. The application doesn’t denote the status of a post (thus my confusion), but at least it is possible to open drafts.
