All about Blogger's post editor

Blogger's post editor has three modes:
  • Compose: a wysiwyg mode where you manipulate text with formatting buttons
  • Edit HTML: a raw mode where you edit the html manually
  • Preview: renders a full-body preview of the post, including its Title, links and images

Blogger post editor modes If you'd rather not use the wysiwyg editor, you can disable it in the Settings | Basic tab in Blogger. The formatting buttons are only available in certain browsers, as explained in this Help article. Keyboard shortcuts are also available; they can greatly speed up the posting process and we encourage you to use them.
