Switched
Well, for better or worse, I just switched to the new version of Blogger, after weeks of Blogger telling me that I cannot switch. It is finally done. Later, I will apply a new template and mess around with all of the much-promised features, like labels.
I am not sure if I should abandon Technorati tags or keep them. Technorati tags are not very user-friendly, but they have some benefits.
I already have two positive things to report. The Blogger spellchecker finally includes the words blog, blogs, and blogging. It's about effing time. And, I no longer have to pass through word verification when commenting on my own blog. If you ask me, we ought to be able to make a "trusted list" of users who we will let skip the word verification step. I trust a few of you.
Have a great weekend.

I hate blogger right now!
I HATE YOU, YOU EFFING MACHINE!
Oh, that's a good idea about a trusted list. You should suggest it to them and I'm going to do it to. There's a form somewhere in the Help area.
i like that trusted list idea too. word verification can be a pain in the ass. sometimes i have a hard time deciphering the letters - does that mean i'm part machine?
shelly: I just filled out the form and sent it off. Now, we wait.
anna may won't: it could mean that. scary thought though.
blogger forced me to switch this morning...so far so good. I like the trusted list idea quite a bit. I bet they can do that too. Thinking about trying the tool to mess with my template too....maybe on the weekend.
my thoughts are escape to wordpress while you can, it's a much better platform and seriously no one has to write letters in order to post in your blog because the spam catcher it very good.
Honestly no one should have to word verify to post in a blog, at least at wordpress if you really are worried about it you can have people sign up for your blog which takes care of that problem.
I switched a while ago. The only thing I don't like is my login for gmail, which I now have to use, is longer to type than superhappyjen, and for some reason blogger no longer wants to "remember me".
Hope I'm one of the trusted ones! ;)
OK, maybe I'll see if I can switch too! A girl can dream...
I'm not switching until I have to, which I'm sure will be any day now. :(
I agree with Tshsmom.I really dont want to switch until I absolutely have to. I had a hard time figuring this out in the first place. Esp downloading pix from Picasa. I am not very computer or interenet good. I know how to turn one on and go where I need to go but not much else. Hubby is better at it than me.
Congratulations on porting everything over.
I don't use blogger, but a trusted list is a good idea. (Wordpress does this, in a sense...once a commenter has had a comment approved, their words are no longer held in queue.)
Tweets, you're already on the "new" blogger.
