If you have a blog on Blogger.com you may have caught their newest feature for your blog. If not, then this might be news to you! BloggerPlay was released in September, and it provides a photo scroller displaying images that we as bloggers upload into our Blogger blogs — in real time! The settings on the image scroller allow you to adjust it to view the images at a snails pace or faster.

Behind the scenes the staff at Blogger have had access to the image scroller as the bloggers upload images. They decided it was such a cool feature behind the scenes and realized it should be available for all to see!

This feature just might bring some traffic to your blog due to the fact that each image is linked to the blog the image was posted on. So, the next time you upload an image on your Blogger blog, someone may click through to your blog from the image scroller! One last word — if you think you can upload images that are vulgar or obscene, somehow Blogger has algorithmic filters to catch those before they’re presented in the scroller.

You can check it out and see the image scroller in real time as the images are uploaded, at BloggerPlay. Have fun with the image scroller and happy blogging!

If only the pilgrims could see us now! We thought automobiles provided freedom, but the ability to access the Internet from devices other than a desktop or laptop computer has given us even greater freedom. With mobile web use a person can travel the world in only minutes.
