"From this blog" lets you insert images you've previously added to your blog.

It's one of six options you'll see once you click the Insert Image tool in Blogger's editing window.

Now, when you upload an image into your blog, it will never count towards the storage you have from Google.

That's the result of two recent changes to how Blogger handles images.

Consequently it is no longer necessary to resize images before adding them to your blog.

My Blogger wish list for 2019

Dear Google,

CC BY 2.0 KITTY TERWOLBECK

I have been good this year! I've blogged regularly (not here, but on my main blog), and been helpful in the Blogger Help Forum.

I know Blogger from a user's perspective, and really like the platform. So, I have some ideas for how to make it better—not just for me, but for users generally.

Blogger versus WordPress

THE BEST FREE BLOGGING PLATFORM  

They are both good. But not perfect.

"They" are the two leading blogging platforms, WordPress and Blogger.

Clever but doomed, Google+ prepares to go

This month Google announced that Google+, its "social layer" that at one time seemed on track to be Google, will end for "consumers" next August.

Update: March.

The implications for Blogger, including the status of Google+ comments and the transition path for bloggers who use Google+ for their profile pages, are not yet clear.

I'd like to take a moment, though, to reflect on what this tells us about our digital lives in general and our relationship to Google in particular.

Google+ was doomed to fail. And Google is a strange place.

Never delete a Blogger blog.

Avert Regret

OK, "never" is an exaggeration. But not a big one.

If you have a blog you don't want any more, a better alternative is often to make it private.
