Google"s Blogger team solved a technical problem Wednesday with the blog publishing and hosting service that affected an undetermined number of Blogger publishers with editing and posting operations on Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesday, Blogger and its Blogspot hosting platform also suffered an outage that lasted little over an hour and affected the entire system.
After marking the eighth "birthday" of this free blogging service on Thursday, Google announced a video upload feature on Friday. Publishers will see a new button in the Blogger editing console to upload videos stored in their computers. "This feature allows you to upload videos and create a video podcast with the same ease that we currently provide with photo uploading," reads the Blogger Buzz announcement.
