Today we're adding autosaving of draft posts to the Blogger post editor. Now you don't have to feel so bad about browser crashes, random laptop restarts, or that hamster vs. gerbil war going on behind your desk that keeps knocking your power cord out of the socket, because Blogger is automatically saving as you type! It's doing it to me right now. Even if I...
*smash*
Whoops! I just pretended that my browser crashed for the purpose of illustrating that the above paragraph is still intact, thanks to autosave! So say "goodbye" to lost blog posts. You won't miss them.
As you work on a new or draft post in the Blogger post editor, the page will periodically send a copy of the text, title, labels, etc. to our servers. We do this about once a minute, unless you type a lot, in which case we'll save as soon as you stop typing, just to be on the safe side. You'll know it's happening because the "Save Now" button at the bottom of the page will turn into a gray "Saved" button.
We'll autosave new posts (they'll become drafts) as well as draft posts that you edit. We won't autosave posts that are currently published, since you don't want your readers to see your updates while you're working on them.
On top of this, we're revamping the post editor's keyboard shortcuts to make them a bit more sane. Now Ctrl-P publishes, Ctrl-S saves a draft, and Ctrl-D switches from published to draft. We moved Preview over to Ctrl-Shift-P.
Not bad eh? This is what I should be doing after three years or so. Or something like this. Innovations. But whatever you do everything seems the same doesn't it ? Monotony is boring.
Why do I have to catch the same old bus to college? The government answered that question by letting out two new buses.
Why is cartoon network boring nowadays? Answered again by bringing DragonBallz back.
Do people make good tamil movies nowadays? Answered by Chennai 600028...
Why am I doing this now? Because I like it.
Well the last one is one are where I like monotony. I like to do whatever I do. I don't want that to change.
So. Another useless post. A useless'er' fact to conclude this.
The only innovation I've managed so far is to turn a blank wall into an entertaining thing which I can stare at for a long time without getting bored.
Impossible is nothing.
