Comments on Blogger in Draft: Blogger in Draft Bug Fixes for April 21st

Sorry if I am off-topic a little bit, but I don't know where can I protest against scheduled posting method.

So, the idea of scheduled posting is great, but the realisation is poor.

The simpler and maybe the best way to do this is to insert a new scheduling date field next to the date field.

Now the date field functionality is too complicate:

a) dating
b) scheduling
c) URL generating
d) sorting
e) archiving

For example, if someone (like me) want to add a post with future date, can't do it correctly.

If I publish it (as blogger team suggests) with current date and then repost it with a new date, then the URL of the post (and archive date) remain unchanged.

So the date of the post and the date in the link (and the archive) are different, and this mismatch is a problem for the blogger and the readers too.

Hi,
Just now I tried scheduled posting, rather Blogger made me try the same.

Me from India and in my Google Account settings, the Country and Time zone is correctly given. Still, in blogger it shows a different time, not my local time. Before, I used to edit the post publish date and time according to my system time and then used to publish my posts. But now, when I do this it's automatically getting scheduled to a future date, which is actually my present date. :(

Yes, I know what the blogger suggests, publish it without editing the current time blogger is showing, then post it; again open the post in edit mode, change the time and re-post. But it's not the way to do it, right?

I like to see my local time as Post Date or an option to select whether a scheduling is required or not.

To make scheduling worthy for people from all around the world, I think the post-time should be local-time.

Sorry if I am off-topic, it will be helpful if someone can guide me, where to post this suggestion. Thank you.

I appreciate Blog Lists and use them extensively, for example on http://www.stockholmbypixels.com/

Update reliability has certainly been an issue, good that you're addressing that.

However, I'm not happy with a couple of changes yesterday. The Blog List suddenly occupies a lot more space (at least in the Mr Moto template we're using) and space is precious.

Also, I would like to be able to turn off the toggling "show all"/"show x". Blog Lists are a great way to have old and maybe dead links automatically moved out of sight as newer stuff are added "on top". That purpose is sort of defeated if people can still do a "show all".

Still, a good feature. Hope you can make it even better.

I founded the Blogger Draft to be very good!

Many of the problrm's that others are having I resolved within a month of frustrations. The problem was ME, and many of the New Templates that I used to change my blog look to enhance my reader's enjoyment. Every New Template does not format your format accordingly. Some remove your formatting, or condense your sight; some makes one wonder if that is your blog.

I see the New Templates useful to some, and disastrous to others.

My resolution to those that are having problem's, be patient, read carefully the instructions and test the new template that you choose to use. Some Firewall may need to be set to allow some features of Blogger Draft.

I love Blogger Draft!

Happy blogging and I look forward to reading your blog.

2008-05-06T13:16:00.000-07:00

I´ve used the scheduling feature several times, now both in draft and live, and it's never worked right for me. I think it's a timing problem: I have my account set to Santiago, Chile, and when it says "this post saved at [time]" that time is always correct, but when I go to change the post time the time that's there is always some random time several hours beforehand. If I set a post to publish at, for example 7:05pm Santiago time (as I did last night), at that time it doesn't show up - the truth is that I've never waited to see when exactly it shows up since I've come back to check on it just after the scheduled time and just posted manually. Any clues? Thanks!

I have tried post-dating some posts into the future to test the scheduling, but they are just posting now. Do you have to check any particular options in your setting to allow scheduling?

I hope I'm not the first one to point this out, but the blogging generation includes suicidal teens. It is not a matter of "if" someone will use service to leave a suicide note. This is an example of a facet of reality which will not change by function of opinion. My purpose in this comment is simply to make a record of the observation.

2008-05-02T19:04:00.000-07:00

For the last 2 days I've had trouble with this. I use to post my new message at any time of the day, immediately and that was fine. Now, suddenly, I have no choice: the posting is automatically scheduled to the time in France on the same day. The problem is I live in Japan. For exemple(today) I post on may 3rd at 10:48 and I get a message telling me it will be posted at 18:48!
I tried changing the time to 10:48, in the posting options but I'm beeing refused and told this is not acceptable and it should be 18:48 !
May be I should just choose another time in the future ? but if the computer is not on or I'm not logged in my blog what happens ?
This is not convenient for me.
Please, can you suggest how to get back to the more simple way I was using ?
Thanks a lot

I've been trying unsuccessfully to schedule a post. I'm having issues in the title field, and the post field. My typed wards turn into ???????. I'd really like to start using the "scheduled posts" Everything else on the blog is stupendous. Keep of the good work. You're all Shinning Stars.

2008-04-30T23:45:00.000-07:00

When adding links into the blogroll, four of them couldn't be entered no matter how many times I tried.
And the ironic thing is, all four of them were blogspot addresses.

And it'd be great if we could edit the name of the link when we added them instead of hvin to add THEN edit its name.

Darnell: Thanks for the report. The problem is related to the redirect to the www version of the domain.

I have a couple free Word Press sites in my Blog list, and for one of them it will list the title of the latest snippet, along with a snippet, but for a couple others, it will only list the title. Why?

BTW, my favorite new feature is the one that allows you to update and save for later publishing. Love it!

Thanks for the help.
