A better Blogger experience on the web Posted: 20 May 2020 04:53 PM PDT Since 1999, millions of people have expressed themselves on Blogger. From detailed posts about almost every apple variety you could ever imagine to a blog dedicated to the art of blogging itself, the ability to easily share, publish and express oneself on the web is at the core of Blogger's mission. As the web constantly evolves, we want to ensure anyone using Blogger has an easy and intuitive experience publishing their content to the web.   That's why we've been slowly introducing an improved web experience for Blogger. Give the fresh interface a spin by clicking "Try the New Blogger" in the left-hand navigation pane.         Click the "Try the New Blogger" button to see Blogger's refreshed look and feel. In addition to a fresh feel, Blogger is now responsive on the web, making it easier to use on mobile devices. By investing in an improved web platform, it allows the potential for new features in the future.  Blogger's new responsive design makes it easy to manage your blog on-the-go. Learn more about the page-specific updates we've released to make your Blogger experience even better:  Stats The redesigned Stats page helps you focus on the most important data from your blog by highlighting your most recent post.     Comments A fresh Comments page helps you connect with readers more easily by surfacing areas that need your attention, like comment moderation.   Posts We've improved support for Search Operators on the Posts page to help you filter your Blogger posts and page search results more easily.  Editor The newly enhanced Editor page introduces table support, enables better transliteration, and includes an improved image/video upload experience.  Reading List  Even if you don't create from your phone, it's now easier than ever to read blogs from other creators while you're on the go. Settings  We've streamlined the Settings page to help you manage all your controls from one place.   We'll be moving everyone to the new interface over the coming months. Starting in late June, many Blogger creators will see the new interface become their default, though they can revert to the old interface by clicking "Revert to legacy Blogger" in the left-hand navigation. By late July, creators will no longer be able to revert to the legacy Blogger interface.   We recommend getting ahead of the transition by opting into the experience today. Be sure to let us know what you think about the new design by tapping the Help icon in the top navigation bar. We can't wait to see how Blogger creators use the latest updates to share their voice with the world. Posted by Fontaine on behalf of the Blogger team

Your personal Google+ account is going away on April 2, 2019

You've received this email because you have a consumer (personal) Google+ account or you manage a Google+ page.

In December 2018, we announced our decision to shut down Google+ for consumers in April 2019 due to low usage and challenges involved in maintaining a successful product that meets consumers' expectations. We want to thank you for being part of Google+ and provide next steps, including how to download your photos and other content.

On April 2nd, your Google+ account and any Google+ pages you created will be shut down and we will begin deleting content from consumer Google+ accounts. Photos and videos from Google+ in your Album Archive and your Google+ pages will also be deleted. You can download and save your content, just make sure to do so before April. Note that photos and videos backed up in Google Photos will not be deleted.

The process of deleting content from consumer Google+ accounts, Google+ Pages, and Album Archive will take a few months, and content may remain through this time. For example, users may still see parts of their Google+ account via activity log and some consumer Google+ content may remain visible to G Suite users until consumer Google+ is deleted.

As early as February 4th, you will no longer be able to create new Google+ profiles, pages, communities or events.

See the full FAQ for more details and updates leading up to the shutdown.

If you're a Google+ Community owner or moderator, you may download and save your data for your Google+ Community. Starting early March 2019, additional data will be available for download, including author, body, and photos for every community post in a public community. Learn more

If you sign in to sites and apps using the Google+ Sign-in button, these buttons will stop working in the coming weeks but in some cases may be replaced by a Google Sign-in button. You'll still be able to sign in with your Google Account wherever you see Google Sign-in buttons. Learn more

If you've used Google+ for comments on your own or other sites, this feature will be removed from Blogger by February 4th and other sites by March 7th. All your Google+ comments on all sites will be deleted starting April 2, 2019. Learn more

If you're a G Suite customer, Google+ for your G Suite account should remain active. Contact your G Suite administrator for more details. You can also expect a new look and new features soon. Learn more

If you're a developer using Google+ APIs or Google+ Sign-in, click here to see how this will impact you.

From all of us on the Google+ team, thank you for making Google+ such a special place. We are grateful for the talented group of artists, community builders, and thought leaders who made Google+ their home. It would not have been the same without your passion and dedication.

You have received this mandatory email service announcement to update you about important changes to your Google+ Page, product or account.

An update on Google+ and Blogger Posted: 30 Jan 2019 06:01 PM PST Following the announcement of Google+ API deprecation scheduled for March 2019, a number of changes will be made to Blogger's Google+ integration on 4 February 2019. Google+ widgets: Support for the "+1 Button", "Google+ Followers" and "Google+ Badge" widgets in Layout will no longer be available. All instances of these widgets will be removed from all blogs.  +1 buttons: The +1/G+ buttons and Google+ share links below blog posts and in the navigation bar will be removed. Please note that if you have a custom template that includes Google+ features, you may need to update your template. Please contact your template supplier for advice. Google+ Comments: Support for Google+ Comments will be turned down, and all blogs using Google+ Comments will be reverted back to using Blogger comments on 4 February 2019. Unfortunately, comments posted as Google+ comments cannot be migrated to Blogger and will no longer appear on your blog. Google+ Profile: In March 2019, Blogger will revert to only having Blogger profiles. Users that have selected a G+ profile in the past will appear as unknown authors until they next login to Blogger and supply a new display name and avatar. We are sorry for the inconvenience these changes may cause, but we look forward to delivering fresh functionality to Blogger in the coming year. Thanks for your continued loyalty. If you have questions about any of these changes or need help navigating them, please visit our Blogger Help Forum.

It’s spring cleaning time for Blogger Posted: 15 May 2018 09:22 AM PDT To make room for some exciting updates coming soon to Blogger, we're simplifying the platform to enhance the blogging experience for all of our users. Changes to existing features in Blogger (rolling out over the next few months): Google+ Integrations: Throughout the next few months, Blogger will transform Google+ widget integrations into HTML widgets to give you more flexibility in how you share and see your followers. OpenID: Blogger previously allowed users to comment on blogs using an existing third party OpenID identity provider and has also acted as an OpenID identity provider when interacting with other systems on the internet. Due to the low usage of this feature, Blogger will no longer support OpenID as a provider or for making comments, and all comments that previously used OpenID will be anonymized. New comments can be posted either from a Google account or labeled as "Anonymous" on blogs that allow it. Improved Localization and Blogspot ccTLDS: Your location determines your country services. Historically, these services have been labeled and accessed via country code top level domain names (ccTLD), such as blogspot.com.au for Australia. We're updating the way we label country services on Blogger - now the choice of country service will no longer be indicated by domain. Instead, blogspot.com will serve you the country service that corresponds to your location, and all existing blogspot ccTLD domains will redirect to blogspot.com. This will help simplify URLs for international audiences. Along with the above updates, the following features will soon be retired from Blogger (over the next few months) due to low usage and to allow the Blogger team to focus on developing new features: Third Party Gadgets: You will still be able to add custom HTML or Javascript via the "HTML/Javascript" gadget. Next Blog: This is the feature that allows you to visit another blog similar to the current one. Blog owners can still use the Blog List widget to share their favorite blogs directly! Polls Widget: Current Polls results will still be available in Google Takeout (more details below) until later in 2018. Textcube: www.textcube.com will be decommissioned. Existing Blogspot blogs imported from TextCube will continue to serve on their blogspot.com address, while files originally hosted in Textcube will be available via Google Takeout (more details below). Aside from the above changes, we're excited to highlight some new features we've been working on. New features you may have noticed recently: HTTPS for Custom Domains: Internet security is very important to Blogger. Custom domains now support encrypted connections with HTTPS, making sure connections maintain integrity and the contents are confidential. For more information on HTTPS, check out the Blogger Help Center article here. Multilogin: Multiple accounts? No problem! Multilogin allows you to switch between your different Google accounts without signing out. For more information on multilogin, check out the Blogger Help Center article here. Spanner: We've been doing some serious tinkering under the hood of Blogger! We finished a multiple-year migration of all blogs to Spanner, a new storage system. For more information on Spanner, check out the Google Cloud Spanner site here. New features coming soon (over the next few months): Video Management: With our new management interface, you can easily download and remove videos you've uploaded. Google Takeout: Your blog - your data. With our upcoming updates to this tool, you'll be able to access more information when you download your data from Google Takeout. We know change isn't always easy, but we thank you for your patience as we continue our commitment to helping you publish your passions into 2018 and beyond. Stay tuned, Kelly on behalf of your Blogger team
