Overall, gotta say I love it. I’ve been dying to have the ability to tag my posts, like professional blogs from people who get ads through consortia of like-minded people, or else put out the “pay me” or “donate to me” shingle post often enough.
Well, now I can.
The changes to the template system, with the page elements, to allow draw-and drag reconfiguring? Nice, but not massive. It took me a minute or two to figure out what to put where, in transferring things from my old template.
But, the tags, that’s the biggie.
Oh, I noticed there doesn’t seem to be an Atom feed link to go with the beta settings; instead there’s a feed listed at each individual post. Well, now, I have to e-mail Blogger to find out about putting a regular RSS link for the whole blog up, so I can then reinstall Haloscan. And why can’t Blogger/Google have the beta configured to do an auto-reinstall of Haloscan?
I DID notice that one of my links, to my Amazon book reviews, did NOT transfer over in the template upgrade.
I’m also not totally fond of the Euro-style “October 04” dating. And why the hell is Chicago the ONLY U.S. city listed under Central Time Zone settings?
But, I’ll see what Blogger has to say in an e-mail.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
