Been a long while since anything's been posted here. Blogger recently provided the functionality to test run new applications they're developing for the platform. It's called Blogger in Draft.

This is a test of some of the new features introduced to Blogger. Just a post to test 'em out. This is the new Video gadget.

Most of you following the main myAsylum blog will probably have seen this before on YouTube. It's about the death of a baby Dugong (Manatee) that was found injured, and kept in captivity at an island resort off the coast of Terengganu, Malaysia. Presumably, the videos are stored on the Blogger servers.

Verdict? Not too bad, except that the sound reproduction isn't all that fantastic. Had the same problem with YouTube when I uploaded it there. Plays great in Windows Media Player, though. The other bad part is the time it takes to upload a video. Looks like myAsylum will probably continue to use the usual method - upload to YouTube.

On the sidebar, you'll see a poll, which will be set up after this post has been completed. I'll be testing some of the new functionalities, as and when they're released.
