A few useful Blogger keyboard shortcuts

If you are a "blogger" (pardon the pun) then chances are that you need to post a lot. Even if you seldom post chances are that sometimes you are going to use the bold and italics or even underline text (well all right you can't use shortcuts to underline stuff). By the way did you ever notice that blogger never has an underline button?

I'm pretty sure that most people love shotcuts, because it makes our lives easer. That's why I've put together a list of shortcuts so that you people can benefit from it too...

• To make text bold need to press Ctrl+b (together). To stop typing text in bold just press Ctrl+b again to start typing in normal text (the same goes for most of the shortcuts)
• To change text to Italics you need to press Ctrl+I.
• To underline text (no... unfortunately there is not shortcut) place a u inside <> in front of the word you want to underline and /u inside <> after the words you want to underline. These are html tags... which specify underline, you need to use html to underline text.
• Ctrl+z is the shortcut if you want to undo something. However this shortcut isn't that helpful in un-doing stuff.
• Ctrl+y is to redo.
• To put in a hyperlink first select the text then press Ctrl+Shift+a
• To save your post as a Draft you need to press Ctrl+d
• To publish your post you need to press Ctrl+s
• To preview how your post looks like (yes you can do that) just press Ctrl+Shift+p.To hide the preview just press Ctrl+Shift+p again.
