New Blogger editor

I'm updating the handouts for my blogging class, and I discovered that the current editor for Blogger will be gone soon.  The editor I'm referring to is what you see when you are creating/typing up a post - all of the options in the toolbar at the top.  You can actually start using the new editor right now, and it has some really great improvements, especially when trying to add images to your blog.

There are three things that are much improved with the new editor:

1. It adds images wherever your cursor was, instead of at the top of the post.
2. You can click and drag on the photo to move it around the post.
3. You can re-size it without having to upload it again, you just click on the picture and you can choose what size you want.

One other nice thing is that if you delete or remove an image from your post, you can add it back again without having to upload it, you just click on the "add image" button again and you'll see the thumbnail for it right there.  But the thumbnails don't stay if you publish or close the window.

Anyway, there's more information on the new editor here: http://www.google.com/support/blogger/bin/answer.py?answer=156829

You can turn on the new editor by going to Settings and scrolling to the bottom where it says "Select Post Editor" and choose "Updated Editor."
