How to Use The New Blogger Text Editor - Mobile Friendly Blogging in 2020

I tried the new WordPress Gutenberg text editor last year. I thought that it has some amazing features. It helped a lot with formatting. The text editor felt so precise and modern that it made me wanted to write longer article. Then, I looked at the old dated Blogger text editor.

I immediately noticed how bad Blogger text editor was, especially compared to the Gutenberg. I almost considered changing platform. Thankfully, my loyalty to Blogger has paid off in 2020. Google finally update Blogger text editor!

I don't exactly know when Google started updating Blogger user interface. I only started to notice the new text editor update sometimes around two weeks ago. I did notice that Blogger interface has been updated earlier than that, perhaps since late 2019. But I really didn't expect the text editor update.

Apparently, Blogger new update is an attempt to bring this platform to the Mobile First era. Google is pushing the internet to become more mobile friendly. Blogger, being one of Google's products, is also catching up.

Previously, it was almost impossible to use Blogger from phone, unless if you are using mobile apps. Even so, the Blogger android apps was not much better than the default old interface. The new mobile friendly interface and editor will definitely increase your blogging productivity.

Here is the complete official statement from Blogger which was released on May 20th, 2020, A better Blogger experience on the web. Currently you can still choose the old interface. However, this new update will become Blogger's permanent default interface by late July, so I recommend you to get used to it starting now.

How to Enable Blogger New Text Editor and Mobile Friendly Interface

Currently, in order to use Blogger's new interface, you have to enable it from the control panel/dashboard. Right now, by default, if you create a new Blogger account, you will get the classic interface.
