Dano: New Blogger

I forgot where I saw it in my morning blog reading. The new Blogger come to release soon. What's new and what would have been broken with the old version? Check out its FAQ. Here's a quote from preview release note:

Known Issues at Time of Preview Release
  • API: applications using the current version of the Blogger API (e.g. AudioBlogger) will not work with Dano blogs. We will be creating a solution to allow these applications to use the new version of the API.
  • Active FTP: publishing your Blog via FTP will not work if your webhost only supports active FTP (those users needing active FTP access had been relying on the pro1.blogger.com publisher). While Dano currently only supports passive FTP publishing for external sites, we will also plan to introduce sFTP.
  • Contextual help is not complete and not yet available in LoFi.
  • Profile editting is not included.
  • Mail-to-Blogger is not working in Dano.
  • Filtering by draft posts is not enabled.
  • Limited template set will be expanded
  • Caching problem with View Blog tab: this tab does not get refreshed until a new post is made i.e. template changes will not be reflected here until post publication (although template preview will show these changes). You can work around this problem by changing your browser's settings to always check the current page against the cache.
  • Save Post dialog presents confusing options: clicking away while a current post is being written will prompt with a Save Post dialog. Clicking OK will save the post, clicking Cancel will not.
  • Team invitations: can only invite 3 team members at a time. This interface will be improved.
