Blogger improvement improved

Nothing much to say about yesterday. It was uneventful except for walking into town to get a few things for Clare from Lakeland and finished editing the completed texts of the six reflections on priesthood for the Benefice Facebook page. All that remained was to find images to match the theme of each, to draw attention to the posting of the day. 

I got around to it this morning, settling for Byzantine icons, then had to figure out how to send docx files to Emma for uploading via WhtasApp. I'd created the files in Google docs, and didn't want the fiddle of sending a link to the page, but rather a proper copy of the file in question. I could only download a pdf to attach however. Normally this is all I need, but couldn't risk sending these for upload to Facebook in case it didn't work. Eventually I found a way to download the docx files from Google Drive, and attach them, one at a time to WhatsApp messages for sending. Hopefully these won't break.

Since the weekend, there have been several welcome changes in the Blogger user interface. Once again  what you type in the 'Labels' subject search box is immediately visible and it offers suggestions quickly. Instead of burying the 'page justification' icon in a slow drop-down menu, it's back on top in its old position. A welcome improvement. There's still a drop-down menu, but it contains less used format items now. The new interface became the default last month, but features I moaned about at the time have only been changed now, three weeks later. What took them so long? I wonder how many other users complained?
