We’ve just released a few fixes to some of the features currently here on Blogger in draft.
Reactions gets some visual improvements, including fixes for display in IE 6 and overall spacing fixes. We’ve also tweaked the HTML and images to make it load a bit more quickly.
We’ve fixed an Import / Export bug that was truncating the export of comments. Also, importing scheduled posts will keep them scheduled instead of publishing them immediately.
We’re bringing the Embedded Comment Form closer to feature parity with the full page comment form by adding e-mail subscription for follow up comments. If you’re logged in, you can now also subscribe to comments without posting one of your own. We’ve also added improved color matching in the form for all browsers.

Excellent, thanks.
'Subscribe' on its own is rather vague: it makes me think of syndication feeds rather than e-mail, let alone Gmail specifically. The link colour on my blog is lighter than it should be too: pale-ish blue when my links are set to dark blue.
Hmm.. Blogger is getting better and better. Keep it up!
I tried the reactions but it does not show in my blog...What could possibly be the problem?
i need to customize the word "subscribe"
Is there anyway we can have users subscribe to a blog without having to log into their Google account? (as some people post comments with OpenID--like me!)
The ability to subscribe to comments without posting one of your own is a brilliant feature - good one. I use the embedded comment form now in my site and I find it has increased user interaction significantly.

dude!
closer to feature parity with the full page comment form by adding e-mail subscription for follow up comments
This is GREAT!!! We are waiting for this very much! Thank you!
I use "☺,✔,★,♥,☀,☔,☹,✖,♻" as reaction options, but it's too long for my layout. They got cut off.
It's great to read that the comment form is almost complete. Thank you guys!
I have been using embedded comments since you announced them. The comment subscription only makes it better.
I agree with the above posts -- the word "subscribe" makes me think of RSS not e-mail notifications. Maybe you should call it "E-mail me when someone posts a comment" or "Notify me" or something along those lines.
It would also be really nice to have a similar feature for the entire blog, that is, if there was a button that users could click to get e-mail notifications when the author posts a new blog. Not everyone uses RSS aggregators or readers, so having an e-mail feature would be REALLY nice.
Didnt like this link "subscribe".
You can make a better method !

The reactions still don't work. You can click once on each one. Also it seems to be the same for ratings. After reloading the page there's no indication that you've already rated/reacted.
When are you guys going to continue work on the post labeling/categorizing system. The categories are GROSSLY underwhelming.
For example, it's nice that I can tag entries but I can't categorize them.
Say I had a blog about fashion. A CATEGORY would be shirts or pants. The LABELS could be colors or materials like cotton. See how this works? Then instead of a billion tags on the sidebar of the page, I can instead have CATEGORIES (or hell call them SECTIONS) on the side of the page.
See, shirts and pants can be the color blue but shirts cannot be pants and vice versa.
I have a livejournal account that I can't bring myself to get rid of because you guys still don't support this. Please, help me out here!
"Reactions": I don't see some Votes with FireFox3, but i see the Reactions-Votes with Google Chrome!
Whem i'm cleared the Cache on FF and i'm logged out my Google-Account same Problem with FF3.
Sorry for my bad english ;-)
New Feature RSS-Media-Feed: i have Problems with this new Feature. I think, if you have a Feed-Redirect with FeedBurner, the Picture will not be show in a Feed-Reader. It will be show correct over my Test-Blog-Feed, this Feed is not Redireckt over FeedBurner.
RSS-Media-Feed:
UPDATE: I have the Problem fixed.
You must the "Blog-Post-Feed" set to "Full Content".
I have it first set to the "Short" Version of Feed-Content!
Please fix the Post-Announcement in the Developer-Blogger-Blog!
Bye, bye from Germany

How and where can I edit "Subscribe"?
Why is "subscribe" still in blue even after I have changed it to other colour in css?
I added the reactions to my blog, they don't show up at all?
Hurray! Glad to know that the email subscription is now ready. Impressed for the prompt response!
BTW, is it better to make it a checkbox (like those in Google reader)? users may think that the current presentation (which is a link) will bring them to other pages. It may also be nice to mention specifically that it is to subscribe the commentsm not anything else.
Nice job anyway! 5 Stars!
please fix that bug, when i use my website adress url without http:// like this. Please... thanks.
Finally!!!!! Now I'll put embedded comment form in my blog!!! Thanks, Google guys!!! You're the best!!!!!
thanks! this is so nice! thanks a lot Blogger!
go and check my blog!
464 fix bug with http:// in the backlinks/...
I wish to be able to import or export some or all of the posts, but not the blog, its settings or its layout. Just the posts that I choose, or all of them if I choose all.
Also, importing of posts (XML file) from WordPress or Friendster (which exports in WordPress format) would also be a great feature for those migrating from them to Blogger.
And Friendster can import from Blogger (and many others) directly (no need to manually export/import as XML file to computer). Why can't Blogger do the same with Friendster, WordPress, LiveJournal and many others? Good idea right?
Is there any thought to using the ratings in conjunction with a gadget for "Most Popular Posts"?
It's great to read that the comment form is almost complete. Thank you guys!
This is great and all, but I activated the response feature in my blog and it looks great and all, but it doesn't keep count of the clicks.... I don't know why it isn't working. Check it out: www.hey-Gus.com
How can I fix this?!
Muy bueno e interesante. Blogger esta cada vez peor, al no ser por la salida Google Pages, todo esta muy bien!!!.
The ability to subscribe to comments without posting one of your own is a brilliant feature - good one. I use the embedded comment form now in my site and I find it has increased user interaction significantly.
Just realized that I can't use "♥,☀,☔,☹,✖,♻" as reactions. They won't be counted. If I use English or Chinese, there is no problem.
I didn't see this mentioned, but be careful of URL corruption with Importing ...http://blogging.robertosblogs.net/2008/10/watch-url-structure-when-importing.html

Hi,
Blogger is intersting for stuff.
But, still one of most important feature is required in blogger and that feature is customise the links of each and every post.
because of the so many problem arise in link.
For e.g. : If title in gujarati ya any other lan. then it automaticaly write post title as a defualt post. so other visiter can not search that post directly.
So, you have to improve that as soon as possible for all user.
Thank you.
Excellent, thanks.

e.g. Embedded below post
But In that form only google user or Anonymous Users can post the comments.

I can't get html code to work, someone leaves a comment with a web page for another comment reader to find, they must cut and paste the link. How do I get the link "clickable" there used to be (I thought) a button in the comment section.
And ratings don't work.
my two problems/ideas:
- i use Opera and blogger in draft is not fully supported
- what about the post-summary/"read more" function?

Impressed, I am, to see Google finally adopt web2 aspects of its popular blogging platform.
allowing comments is a rarity across the googlescape, and blogger-in-draft deserve pats on the back for providing an avenue for reader feedback.
even though the last post is spam, reader comments are a bold step forward for blogger, and google.

Blogger/Google -- are you reading these comments? I have yet not seen a single reply yet (after nearly 80 comments).
Also, have you considered integrating AddThis or ShareThis into the standard templates? It might be easier (thus, better for your end users) instead of struggling with such limited and buggy subscribe/email notifications buttons.
It would be great to let OpenID users subscribe to comments via e-mail. Some suggestions: 1) remember e-mail for each OpenID identity; 2) verify e-mail ownership at most once for each OpenID identity; 3) let OpenID users subscribe without posting a comment.
4) remember OpenID authorisation after sending a comment for new comments.
What you need to do is add a spell check to the post create/edit thing. Until then I will be unable to use blogger draft and I REALLY like it's look.
Can you guys add a feature where we can subscribe to private blogs that we have permission to read? I like to read a friend of mine's blog, but since she has it set to private it doesn't give me an RSS/subscription option. I would like to be notified when she writes a new blog instead of having to check all the time. If you guys could add this feature that would be awesome!
STILL A BIG BUG in the Embedded Comment Form.
When you use IExplorer 7 and you post a comment for the first time in the Embedded Comment Form, you need always *two tries* to get your comment post. On the first try the form says in red letters: "Your request could not processed. Please try again."
Why this? How could it be solved? ATTENTION: It's a globally problem with IE7. This message came even when I wanted to post THIS comment you now reading. So I had to push the button "Post Comment" a second time. The word identification is an all tries always correctly been entered. It has nothing to do with it.

I have tried to import my old blog, but earlier this month or late last month I had my old blog at: mjbcoffee.blogspot.com disabled. Then I think I made a HUGE mistake, I posted a new blog: MJB COFFEE at joybob63.blogspot.com. PLEASE help me, I am a 71 year old grandmother, new to the computer age and my husband says I have a short term memory lost and won't let me drive the car, because he is afraid I will get lost in the Katy-Houston, Texas area. I live with my daughter and family. Thank you in advance.

HI
When can we have the ability to import large blogs? My blog is about 15 megs, and when I try to import it to another blog, it errors out after so much time.
Hello,
This question already asked by another person before but did not get an answer so Now I am reasking it here!
the Reactions feature is not working on customized templates and You have suggested that we must paste the code from a fresh unchanged template. yes I did this. the Reactions button appeared on my blog but the problem is when i refresh the page the results are disappearing. It seems to me Blogger do not save the reactions results on customized blog templates. how can I fix this problem ! please help.
thank you.
Não vou justificar minha ausência, mesmo pq não caberia.
Adoraria ter estado por aqui, mesmo pq meu blog fez dois anos e eu nem estava aqui pra comemorar.
Quero apenas deixar meu pedido de desculpas, agradecer pelas visitas, pelo carinho, por tantos comentários e pela preocupação.
Mesmo que eu quisesse e me desdobrasse, não daria para fazer isso individualmente e terá que ser aos poucos.
Hoje quero apenas deixar um beijo e dizer que vou lendo-vos na medida do possivel.
Mil desculpas.
Estou de volta!
Um beijo imenso!
This is really a great improvement on the Blogger platform. I've seen others hack their templates just to get the comment form into their posts pages, fortunately for those who are using blogger draft, this will be a piece of cake.
Thanks guys from Blogger draft, keep on improving my(our) favorite platform! I wish I could work with you guys to improve on this platform, since I'm very impressed on how easy Blogger is compared to the "other" platform/s.
I've just started blogging a month ago, I'm an online webmaster so I'm always busy and not able to blog everyday. But sure thing is, I want to contribute something to Blogger. If there's anything I can do, please just visit my blog and let me know. It's http://mikeyhacky.blogspot.com.
I hope something like an official Blogger desktop app for publishing blogger blogs come up someday so we can have a software to do basically everything on Blogger except that it eliminates the element of a web browser. I think that would be really cool.
Again, thanks to all those who are working at Blogger Draft.
Opa!!!! Obrigada pela visitinha lá no meu cantinho, é sempre bom receber novos amigos!!

hi all
I can't import my old blog to blogger. It always says "There were problems importing the file." My file is in XML document exported from friendster blogs, and the size is 1.24 MB.
Did something happen to blogger comment links? On Monday, I could Post a comment by clicking on to the "Post a Comment" link in my posts and it would take me to the blogger default template comment section. Now the link seems to be broken and takes me nowhere! Does anyone know how to fix the link??
Thanks!
my google account won't stick so I have no options in the "comment as" box, how do i fix this?
this DID NOT make commenting better at all!!!!!!!!!
i have been waiting for this feature for months!!
I made my own template, though... Is there a way to make it show up?
Excellent, thanks.
where is the code???? :( :-?
hey what's going on? you have a comment box, I had one the day it launched now it's disappeared??
It looks great in both IE7 and Chrome, thanks.
Can you get tiny user images by the comments like in the previous pop-up comment window, only smaller - that'd be great.
Click "subscribe" where?????????!!!!!
Embedded posts don't seem to come up for my blog. Is it because I customized my template?
I am not getting the icon for Hindi (Indic) transliteration for posting theblogpost on eblogger in draft.

Good job, but there is a big problem about embedded form for comment: you can see only the first 200 comments and there is no way to change page to see the other ones.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I didn't find a way: if it exist, please tell it to me.

hello boys and girls!
great job till now!
we need a way to control all together the size of the photos of a post. If u have ten photos in a post and i need them to be big, i have to click on each one of them, that takes time. How could i cjange the size in all of them at once?
Moreover the embed comment form is still buggy. We need to press twice for "publish" before it does. Why is that happening?
And also reaction don't work in every blog, for exemple in www.bfax.gr I have chosen the reaction but they don't show up.
Keep working guys, we need even better Blogger platform.

Hi sorry, don't mean to be a bother, since yesterday my embedded comment doesn't seem to work properly on my site, I didn't make any changes since the last time I updated, kindly help? so what happens is that the Comment as doesn't show any choices at all so no one can comment.
I have the same problem with the embedded comments as puppy52doll where the "comment as" dropdown box is not populated as you can see here.

Don't go crazy with your layout code, the problem is with Blogger.
Seriously -- does *anyone* at Blogger read these comments???
Can we get spell check back??

@Alain-Christian: does the "Labels" widget not work for you? If not, what is it lacking?
I think the gadget feature is easier to use than the old style. But I would like a calendar page like the one on WordPress that just shows the current month and the post dates highlighted. When I try to use the Blogger gadget for the calendar, it apparently links to the whole enchilada from the Google calendar where you put in all your appointments, etc. I just want something that shows the days I've posted (and I can't cope with doing my own html, so using an outside widget is impossible for me.) Thanks!
hello here daniel Argentina Bs Ad
www.fifydany.blogspot.com
Thanks for the comment form. Putting it to use already.
I installed the reactions and tags but dosn't show up in my blog
Hello Folks,
I can't seem to get the "reactions" feature working on my blog correctly. I'ts a wonderful idea and i would like to include this feature. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
If it had spell check everything would be great.
If I set Firefox browser options to 'accept 3rd party cookies' the embedded comment works. But I've heard that there is a privacy issue having that set as accepting 3rd party cookies. Without that 'checked' in my browser options, the embedded comment form does NOT work.
Is there a way around this? I've reverted back to the full page comment box.
I'd like to see three-column templates, please! There are the user-created ones, but if I want to use one of those, I have to re-add all of the widgets and reset any counters.
Also, on the reactions feature.. it'd be great if we could choose different options for each blog post to simply pertain to it, instead of having the same reactions to each and every post throughout the blog.
There seems to be a problem when already published posts are edited to be published in future. Not sure if it is already known. See this: http://blogtoolspage.blogspot.com/2008/12/bug-in-blogger-draft.html
When I enable "embedded comment form", the word verification ceases to function in Safari. Here is a screenshot
The word verification problem has appeared in Firefox as well and is sporadic. The word verification image simply fails to display.
@Siobhan
You can't assign categories to entries with labels. At the very least you should be able to nest the labels. The labels system covers only the bare minimum.
Livjournal and Wordpress already supported this YEARS ago.
Even worse, the layout code doesn't allow me to hack that functionality in!!!
thanks
