blogger in draft

Blogger today introduced a new feature, or rather, an experimental version of Blogger, Blogger in Draft, where we can “try out new features before they’re ready for full release”.

The first feature is Video Upload, where you can upload videos to a blog post directly by clicking on the video button button on the post editor toolbar. You will be prompt to select the video you want to upload and enter the title of the video and agree their Terms and Conditions. Once you hit “Upload Video”, the uploading process will start. Depending on the file size and your internet connection, it might take from a few seconds to hours to upload the video. When finish, you should see something like this:

Or a Google Video player (the videos are hosted on Google Video) displaying a thumbnail screen shot of your video. You can then play the video inside the post editor by clicking on the video player or keep writing the blog post. :)
