Visitors may have noticed some changes in the
appearance of blog postings lately. That
comes from the fact that Blogger has rolled out a new interface starting in May
2020. The service offers the blogger the
opportunity to switch to classic blogger when doing a post, but that
possibility will expire on Monday Aug. 24, 2020.
I have had some difficulty after, on July 12, the “<>”
toggle switch to go to html mode seemed to disappear. Instead, the service placed a pencil mark on
the upper left side which opens to the toggle, but gave no explanation.
Blogger’s changes are said to be motivated by the
desire to make the mobile experience better and improve search engine ranking for
commerce.
The new interface offers the opportunity to search
YouTube videos by title to embed automatically in a way that fits a mobile
device.
Here is a descriptive post from “Destined Boy”.
We had not heard a lot of news about Blogger before
May. A social networking service Google-Plus
was largely shut down March 7, 2019. I
have wondered about how Blogger can make Google (or Alphabet) money when it has
never been upscaled to the content management professional style of Wordpress,
but wants the reputation of being faster and simpler to use, and is more usable
on mobile devices.
I still have concerns over the availability of all of
these platforms (beyond what we call interactive social media) indefinitely if
there are severe strains on Internet performance as schools have to use them in
the fall given the virus situation.

As I had explained here on Feb. 27, 2019, I must
simply my “branded’ Internet presence by the end of 2021. I do not expect to use free service platforms
(except video in a much tighter sense) after 2022 begins. I don’t want to speculate here on how the
pandemic would affect it, but I’ll have more to say soon on the DADTNotes blog.
