I'm kind of surprised they're still working on Blogger.
Especially on a core component.
...is blogger going away or what?
Edit+: I meant why be surprised that they are updating it...
No , on the contrary they have updated the Template Editor
This really dims the chance that Blogger will be closing any time soon
Edit: Sorry , misinterpreted you nnq
It's not inconceivable that Google would do something to or with it to solidify their focus on Google+.
