Handy Pics Alignment
When it comes to uploading pictures to your post, I found that Blogger in Draft does a better job. The moment you insert the picture, a nifty option bar pops by which you can choose the desired left, right or centre alignment. The same bar also has size options, small, medium and large to adjust the photo size. Contrary to Blogger where once you choose the size and layout before hitting the upload button, its final.
Re sizable Post Editor Window
Avery helpful feature of blogger in draft especially when revising the post for spellings and grammar. Just drag the lower right corner of the post editor window and it will re size accordingly.
Extra Gadgets
Blogger in Draft has some very useful gadgets that Blogger does not have. Of course at some point of time they will eventually be a part of Blogger, but if you want to try it beforehand then log in to Blogger in Draft.
Here I Am, The Location Tool
Add location feature attaches tags to each of your post with location on Google maps. This is an extremely useful feature for travel bloggers.
Elaborate Post Options
Blogger in Draft shows post option with some extra features like convert newlines to br /s , ignore newlines, Interpret typed HTML and show HTML literally.
What Blogger In Draft Lacks But Blogger Possesses
I would not mislead you into believing that Blogger in Draft is having all features and Blogger doesn't. The features that Blogger in draft lacks are Insert video and Spell check.
Wordpress URL Shortner Embedded In The Blog Post Editor Itself
Wordpress comes with URL shortner right inside the blog post editor Itself. Though Wordpress claims it to be the shortest in terms of domain as wp.me, I think they should watch out su.pr before claiming big. Anyways its nice to find it right inside the blog. The unique and restrictive feature of this Wordpress URL shortener is that it works only for Wordpress and not for any other links.
I tried it and I am therefore presenting you with the screen shot to have a glimpse.

How I Gained 5 times More Traffic in 13 Days
One of my most sluggish blog, rose 5 times up in twitter followers and 6 times on traffic in 13 days. And there is just one secret to it. The change in URL shortening service from bitly to su।pr. See the results in the following screen-shots. It is a blog that delivers news about my University to its Alumni and current students. Though many happening, events and conference that are reported are of interest to many others in the world. And the basic difference lies in the fact that they had to be tapped from wherever they are. Stumble upon with su.pr was a right choice indeed.
