I was trying to update my Blogger blog and I posted using Microsoft Word like I always do.

When I looked at it, I realized that I had made a mistake in the title and decided to log onto Blogger to make the corrections.

When I tried to log on it tells me that I can upgrade my account, and then wants me to start inputting information. It has a google account for me but the password does not work.

So now I have to create a new google account or try and find my old password, if I create a new account then I will have to log out of my old account each time I try to do something new with Google. This means looking up passwords again, which is a royal pain. 

I decided to just not upgrade, even thought it sounds like it might be a good idea.  The problems that I could run into with all the different Google passwords and logging in and out each time I do anything with google just make it way to great a risk to take a chance.

Besides that, I only publish with Microsoft word, if that does not work with the new upgrade then I might as well just delete all my google blogs and start all over some place else.

I have been looking around trying to find out some information but so far this is about all I can turn up…

Blogger was built by San Francisco based Pyra Labs in 1999; that company was then acquired by Google in 2003. Not a lot has changed sine 2003. None the less, Blogger is the fastest, easiest way to quickly throw up a free blog and be able work with the template code.

There is a long list of new and updated features, but in the long run I’m guessing that integration of Blogger with Google Accounts may make the biggest difference. Through this integration, there’s no shortage of things that may become possible and more elements from the Google Empire beyond Adsenes may begin appearing easily on non-technical users’ blogs.

But for now there are other features already being discussed. The big picture is privacy, tags, drag and drop layout and easier inclusion of non-textual elements.

Blogger.com will now publish individual posts to the Blogspot servers, instead of republishing the entire blog after each post. Besides making the system easier to use, perhaps this will also solve the problem of Blogger blogs republishing their entire feeds and appearing as unread in feed readers.
