We’ll have a bit more to say about Blog List later today, as well as some new fixes and features on <a href="http://bloggerindraft.blogspot.com/">Blogger in draft</a>. <span itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://plus.google.com/116899029375914044550' itemprop='url'/> </span> </script> <noscript> Today’s release brings a handful of tweaks and fixes, as well as the new Blog List page element. Here’s some of what we fixed:<br /><ul><li>If you delete a post or make a typo in a post URL, the resulting 404 page now says “page not found” instead of the incorrect “blog not found.”</li><li><code><blockquote></code> tags no longer break the line height of later paragraphs in the Minima, Scribe, Harbor, Dots, 867/565, Moto, and Thisaway templates. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">If you’ve edited your CSS or blog widget template, you may not get this fix, or, worse, you’ll lose line spacing in your posts.</span> For a fix, see the <a href="http://knownissues.blogspot.com/2008/03/block-quote-spacing-issue-236307.html">known issue on this bug</a>. (We apologize for this one-time disruption.)</li><li>OpenID logins for comments now work when the OpenID URL redirects to another page.</li><li>Layouts blogs will now display on Blog*Spot even when the template has invalid <code>data:</code> tags, rather than showing a bX code page.</li><li>Performance improvements across Blogger.com and Blog*Spot.</li></ul>Enjoy!
