Looking through some old blog posts this morning, I noticed that one post was missing an image. Fixing a broken post used to be easy, but somewhere along the way Blogger made some changes and now it's a bit of a trick. Here's my procedure:
- right click on the title of a blog post and select 'Open link in a new tab'
- go to this new tab, copy the title of the blog post (highlight the title and press Ctrl-C)
- right click on New Post (somewhere in upper right corner) and select 'Open link in a new tab'
- go to the new post tab, paste the title in the search box and press Enter. If there are several results you might have to look through them to find the one you want.
- click on the title of the post you want to edit
- edit the post
- when you have finished editing, click on Update
- go back to the previous tab, which should still show the original, broken version of your post. Click the refresh symbol (the circular arrow in the upper left corner). The repaired version of your post should appear.
Clickety, clickety click. All because Blogger took away the edit button.

I think Blogger has kinda been on autopilot for a while and things are starting to not work right.
I have 4 or 5 active blogs on my blogroll that say they haven't been updated in months.
Midwest Chick just started a new blog on WP and I added it to my blogroll- now it says she hasn't updated her Blogger in 15 years.
