Blogger and malware
August 31, 2007
You may have seen stories in the news recently about malware on Blogger, such has
this one
from the BBC or
this one
from Committee to Protect Bloggers. Blogger was not compromised. Instead, the blog posts are from bloggers whose machines were compromised by a
Trojan horse
. These bloggers had their
mail2blogger
email addresses in their computers' address books (a perfectly legitimate use case), so when the malicious software spammed every address in their address book with its content, a copy of that email was posted to their blog.
We are in the process of notifying impacted bloggers and recommending that they scan their computers and run current anti-virus software, available in the
Google Pack
. This is also good advice for all computer users, especially those who may have clicked the links in the emails sent by the virus. For more information about computer security, check out
upenn.edu
and

AdSense update: Inline Ads
August 28, 2007
Just wanted to bring your attention to a small yet nifty (and long-requested!) feature we recently added to Blogger's
AdSense integration
: inline ads
You can now show AdSense ads inside your block of blog posts, up to 3 times on your main blog page. This should definitely improve monetization for those of you using AdSense on your blogs, as this places the ads inline with your blogs' actual content. The AdSense blog
shows how it works
, and here are a few example blogs using the feature:
Dummies' Guide to Blogger
Movie Theatre Reviews
3, 2, 1, Action!
August 24, 2007
Today we are releasing video uploading to Blogger! This feature allows you to upload videos and create a video podcast with the same ease that we currently provide with photo uploading.
When you go to the Blogger post editor, you'll see a new button (
) next to the image uploading one. Just select a video from your computer, wait a few minutes for the upload and processing to occur, and
voila
! Now when you visit your blog, you will see something like this (of course without Tomo, the Blogger Akita):

Happy Eighth Birthday!
August 23, 2007
Today marks Blogger’s eighth birthday! A time for reflection, a time to catch our breath from yesterday morning, and a time to break out the baby picture.
Thanks to everyone who has supported us over the past four-fifths of a decade, and thanks especially to you for all the blogs.
In honor of our birthday, we have a small present in the form of an iGoogle gadget for Blogs of Note. Click the “Add to Google” button below to put the day’s Blog of Note on your iGoogle homepage.

August 07, 2007
Say you live in
Albuquerque

sushi
. Starting today, we’re making it easy for you to find other bloggers who share your interests.
Now you can go to any Blogger profile page (start with
your own
, or perhaps
another popular blogger’s
) and follow any of the links on the page to get a list of other bloggers with the same industry, occupation, location, interest, or favorite book, movie, or music.
The Browse Profile results are tuned to show you people who have recently updated their blogs at the top, so you can find blogs with fresh posts.
If you haven’t filled out your profile, do it now to help people find your blog.
Here’s how
.
Don’t want to be found? Just edit your profile and uncheck the “Share my profile” box, and your profile won’t show up when other people browse.
