Today’s release brings a number of updates to Blogger:
- Clearer identity options on the comment form, which now highlights some of the more popular OpenID providers more obviously.
- Transliteration is now available in Kannada, Malayalam, Tamil, and Telugu as well as Hindi
- Posts with more than 200 comments have them split across multiple pages.
- Layouts blogs now have a “Layouts” tab instead of “Template.”
We also made fixes to address bugs and other problems, including:
- Better Persian translations and other BiDi layout fixes
- A fix to the long-standing incorrect label counts bug
- Safari 3 support for the Layouts template editor pages
- Faster loading times for the post editor
- Improved international support in the post editor’s date and time fields
- Compatibility fixes for Picasa’s BlogThis! button
Nevertheless, there are two new issues that you should know about:
- Comment pagination is not yet available for Classic templates
- The “Shrink to Fit” option in the Header and Picture page elements only affects new photo uploads
