I've fixed it :) I think it's a fixed format now, to DD/MM/YYYY. I've changed the script to that.

Cheers!⌘

I like your script. There is one draw back. It inserts the date in US format. Since my bloggers settings use the Dutch format (e.g. dd-mm-yy instead of mm/dd/yy) Blogger will show an error re. illegal date formatting.⌘

Thanks for uploading the updated version that cures the problem with the new version of Greasemonkey, Aditya.

Kirk's fix for the Blogger toolbar problem has also sorted out the spellcheck issue, on my system anyway. Two birds with one stone!⌘

I found your script the other day... I was hoping someone would write this for the new blogger. Seems to work well except for one problem: when this script it active, it breaks Blogger's spell-check (the spell check pops up an error box). Just thought I'd let you know.⌘

Thanks very much for the reworking Aditya! Hope your exams went OK?⌘

Have tried the new version and it seems to work great, but of course will let you know if anything crops up on the date format front.⌘

I had thought about that little glitch when I was going to release this, but I had my exams coming up (college can be hard!), so I didn't pay much attention to it. I know what you mean with the drafts habit.⌘

Jasper didn't figure out the difference, but I figured out what Jasper did. Unfortunately, that script will not work for the new Blogger, but I could use the same concept and rework my script.⌘

I'll release the reworked script soon enough! Thanks for dropping by :)⌘

Fab Aditya, thank you so much!⌘

One request - for me the main issue is that I do lots of draft posts and save them to carry on with another day. So it's most useful for me to have the box auto-checked on draft posts, to make sure they've got the time of publishing not initial creation, rather than to have it autochecked on a new post I'm publishing immediately. Because I often do forget to check the box after creating a new post. And I've noticed that when you check the box on a draft post and save it, then open the draft, it's become unchecked. Is there any way please to tweak it keep the box always checked, except when editing an already-published post?⌘

Jasper had I think figured out the differences between published & unpublished posts so that the box wouldn't be automatically checked when you were editing a published one. My Javascript knowledge is pretty minimal but could you figure it out from his code? Or is New Blogger working so differently that that is no longer possible?⌘

Cheers Imp.⌘
