New Editor and Image Upload Support in Blogger iOS App

Blogger has just updated their iOS application to support new WYSIWYG editor and also support for image upload through the editor. This is something that i have been waiting for since up to yesterday, there are no way to upload images using the native apps in iOS. The only way is to use the web version.

Thanks to Google for updating the apps and implementing this feature in iOS :)

New Virus Attack Blogger Wordpress compromised

As I was checking several blogs and websites today, i found that several of them redirected me to either gescansecurity.org or a bing search page for “freevirusscan” .

Several blogger and wordpress blogs were seemed to have been affected. In my case I visited this blog (gosh..its a blogger blog) and this site was redirected to -

http://gescansecurity.org/?affid=318&subid=landing

which first displayed a window almost identical to a standard "My computer" screen on a windows pc and looked like the typical type of windows malware. It alerted me of various viruses/Trojans (downloader.win32.agent etc.) detected on my computer, followed by a prompt to install "System Security Antivirus" and such by clicking "ok". With no option to close the window, and with no other active windows, I clicked cancel for no result as I got a message that windows security center recommends it as an install and hence the cycle repeats.

When I got rid of that page and revisited it,the page was gone and instead redirected me to a bing search page for search term “freevirusscan” .

 

On closer inspection I found out that affected blogs load a script just before the </body> tag with no recognizable pattern (atleast for me). Also I monitored my cookies and found that after being redirected to bing,a cookie is set to prevent the user from being redirected for 20 days.

Several wordpress blogs also displayed the same vulnerability. On later googling I found a user in apple forum about the same problem. A new virus attack on Wordpress/Blogger ? Seems so as I was running Linux and seemed to have no malware installed on my Linux machine. Tested this on a clean windows machine and for positive results.

Keep your eyes open folks..

NO Edit HTML Option On New Blogger

We bloggers often manipulate the blogger using "Edit HTML" option. Since few look and feel changes can not be done through Blogger interface. Those bloggers who have knowledge on HTML usually do edit the template to make their blog design more effective.

Recently all interfaces for all bloggers migrated to new blogger interface. Many bloggers would have found no "Edit HTML" option. Even I was searching for the same and discovered the HTML option. Just follow the below 2 options, it will take you to the old blogger interface, as usual you can edit the HTML template.
Option 1:

1. Click on new "Earning" link, it will show you the link "Current Monetize Tab".
2. Click on "Current Monetize Tab", then you will be navigated to the old blogger interface.
3. Then you can access the "Design" and "Edit HTML" option.

Option 2:

1. Know your blogger id. It will be like 6196755291810133359.
2. Then add to this URL: http://draft.blogger.com/html?blogID=. Once you add it will looks like below.
      http://draft.blogger.com/html?blogID=6196755291810133359
3. Just copy and paste this URL on browser address bar. Then you will be redirected to your older blogger interface.

Please let me know whether you got the solution in comments section.

Happy Blogging..
