Which Color are you?

Just to let you know, I highly encourage you to use Blogspot for all blogging.

They actually are very comprehensive in their help. This is an example. They break down the features of different browsers that allows Bloggers like me to better understand which ones to use.

Blogger said that their awesome wysiwyg editing features are fully supported in the latest versions of the most popular web browsers: Internet Explorer 6 and 7 on Windows, and Mozilla FirefoxSafari support is coming, eventually.


They also listed stuff lIke some of Blogger's special features like Preview mode and HTML formatting buttons  in this table which tells you exactly what works and what don't! Doesn't this show how comprehensive their help is! It also cuts down on their answering questions repeatedly!

Key:
  • Browser: web browser name and version
  • Compose: whether or not Blogger's wysiwyg Compose mode is supported
  • HTML buttons: whether All, Some or None of Blogger's HTML mode formatting buttons are supported
  • Preview: whether or not Blogger's Preview mode is supported
  • Layouts: whether or not Blogger's Layouts feature is supported

Notes:
* Displayed but don't work properly
** Enter key (for line breaks) doesn't work
*** Spell Check, Upload File
****We don't officially support RTE on Opera
Usage Breakdown:
  • 69% of our users use IE6/Windows; clearly the majority yet a lower percentage than the web in general.
  • 24% use Mozilla Firefox; an up-and-comer, which we all use internally.
  • 4% use Safari; also widely used internally.
AOL users, as well as those unaccounted for here (e.g. Netscape, etc.), would be wise to use Mozilla Firefox in order to have the best possible experience using Blogger.

Also, Blogger lets you see statistics like who are your loyal readers and what screen resolution you are using!

So which color are you?
