The Google employees are really trying to make the company's products even better and, in the same time, they are aiming to resolve important bugs discovered in the applications installed on our systems. Of course, Google wants to do this indirectly because they cannot get involved into the development of the programs unless there is a partnership with the software producers. Today, the Mountain View company debuted an important update for Blogger, the blog service owned by Google, to resolve important issues caused by the browser errors. The autosaving feature helps blog posters by saving the articles as you type it. This way, no matter what happens to your computer and the connection with the blog service is interrupted, your message will be saved.

"Today we're adding autosaving of draft posts to the Blogger post editor. Now you don't have to feel so bad about browser crashes, random laptop restarts, or that hamster vs. gerbil war going on behind your desk that keeps knocking your power cord out of the socket, because Blogger is automatically saving as you type! It's doing it to me right now," the Blogger team announced today.

The function works for both message editor and draft editor so no matter if you're writing a new article or you're editing an old one, the text is safe. According to the Blogger team, the new feature will automatically save a copy of the message as you type it and will send it to the Blogger servers.

Among all these improvements, the parent company Google also introduced some new keyboard shortcuts for the post editor menu, allowing you to press Ctrl-P to publish the article, Ctrl-S to save it as a draft, Ctrl-Shift-P to preview it and Ctrl-D to switch to the draft articles menu.
