Google Adds Auto-Save Functionality from Gmail to Blogger

Google has made a wish come true!

My wish. No, not yet the dream job I crave, but a wish fulfilled nonetheless.

After losing countless postings on Blogger - usually due to slow posting responses or failed postings, I regretfully was forced to switch tactics.

Since I could not afford to lose any more postings or updates using the Blogger interface, I wrote in Word and simply copied and pasted my text into Blogger. Since Word has an auto-save feature, I didn't have to worry about losing text.

That got me thinking like Abe Lincoln.

As I wrote a couple of months ago, before the latest logical update to Blogger, I was peeved that Gmail had an auto-save feature for more than a year, but it was absent in Blogger.

From what I know working in the industry, I can't be that difficult to duplicate the code for the auto-save feature into the Blogger interface. Now I'm happy to say it has been done (thanks!).

Ego aside, I wonder if someone at Google read my blog and said something like: "Hey, he's right, this shouldn't be hard to do and the users want it of course."

More likely, Google engineers already had the auto-save enhancement for Blogger on their to do list and at last got around to implementing it.
