Look Up Words as You Compose

Posted on 16:27 by Unknown
by Awaneesh Verma, Dictionary Product Manager


We recently added a dictionary with definitions and translations to "Blogger in Draft." Here's a quick tour of the feature and its functions.

Look up definitions: To look up the definition of a word or phrase, simply highlight it and click the dictionary icon in the editor's toolbar:




This will open the dictionary's Define tab, where you can view definitions for words and phrases across 12 languages.

Get synonyms: If you'd like to see synonyms for an English word, begin by looking up its definition as above. Then, click a hyperlinked synonym to browse to its definition, and click Insert or Replace to add the currently displayed word to your composition:





Currently, synonyms are available only in the English dictionary.

Translate: You can use the Translate tab of the dictionary to translate words and phrases between over 50 languages.




Similar to the Define tab, you can navigate translations by clicking them and can feed them back to the post by clicking Insert.
We hope you find this dictionary a useful composition tool. Please let us know what you think by leaving us a comment below. Thanks!

Better Image Posting on "Blogger In Draft"

Posted on 10:13 by Unknown
We've added a couple of image upload improvements and UI changes to the editor on Blogger In Draft.

You'll notice that the Insert Image and Insert Video buttons look a bit different in the new editor's toolbar.


In addition, the Insert Image dialog now lets you choose the destination album for your image in Picasa Web Albums.



Better yet, you can easily choose from photos you've already uploaded to Picasa.



Finally, the video upload interface is updated as well.

As you try out these features, let us know how it goes in the comments.

Thanks!

Geo Re-enabled

Posted on 13:25 by Unknown
Update: Geotagging is re-enabled.  (11/17/2009)

We’ve temporarily disabled the geotagging feature in the Blogger in draft post editor due to it not working and showing that annoying JavaScript alert.

The feature will come back once we fix it up. Sorry about the inconvenience.
