Get Auto Saved With Blogger

Today, Blogger has added a most welcomed feature in its service. This is the Auto Save option. Now you don't need to worry about the un-predictable hardware or software failures on your system. Blogger will take all the pains to auto save your post in the form of a Draft.

This is done every minutes, unless you are a professional typist. If you are typing very fast to compete with Blogger Servers, then as soon as you stop typing, Blogger will save your contents just to keep you on safe side.



Even now, when I am writing this post, every word of mine is getting auto saved in their servers. Just to make you updated with what is happenning to your contents, you will see the save now button in two colors (grey and blue). When ever your contents gets saved, it turns to grey color, mentioning the time at whih your content was autosaved.


The Disadvantage

There is a problem here, your post gets saved with the date on which you satarted writing. Lets say if you have started writing on your post on 18th May at 8:00pm, and completed at 19th May 6:00am. When you publish your post, it will be published with the date as Posted on 18th May at 8:00pm rather than 19th May 6:00am.

Apart from auto save, Blogger has also introduced the keyboard shortcuts to save, publish and preview your blog. Now Ctrl-P publishes your Post, Ctrl-S saves your post a draft, and Ctrl-D switches from published to draft. The Preview option has been moved over to Ctrl-Shift-P.

So enjoy the new features.
