blooger.

yeah, typo on purpose.

do i have to upgrade my template when i switch to blogger beta? what if i choose not to?

what, that?

~~edited to say yeah, i did it. i cannot figure out how to implement a new masthead, any ideas for that?

for the most part, i still used a lot of html to get my sidebar moved over to beta, but all in all, i think i might like it.

maybe.

(i am a little more than saddened to have lost haloscan commenting...rest assured, all of your wonderful comments are saved for posterity on my email. i think.)

Well ..... that does look rather different.

I chose not to change my template when I switched. I couldn't even begin to think of what it would take to transfer everything to a new template.

rodney! i was thinking of you yesterday when i was out and about shopping...thinking of you saying "you have done enough, now go home and rest!" isn't that funny?

well, i made the switch and will probably like it once i get the hang of it. we'll see.

i guess i've lost haloscan commenting...

I made the switch but didn't "upgrade" my template. I hate the new beta blogger and I'm not upgrading my template and losing everything. I'll continue to do everything with html, and not the "easy" way the new blogger wants me to.

I dunno, but actually paying for typepad is loking better all the time. Either that, or crap I need to get training in web design....

Penni, I think you could opt to add it as an element in addition to your top header.

There is also a blog that has posts on doing different things one would like to do on Blogger Beta. Did I send you that link?

Congratulations on doing it!

I love the new look!

I was able to add in things like the very useful labels etc and still keep the same template. The boxes seemed to make it easy to do lots of things I couldn't do before.

You did it!! Looks good, Penni!

Regina said...

I think a new look is needed every now and then (ahem)... I like this , Penni. It seems more open and spacious!

Yeah, I'm less than enthusiastic about some of the changes that have come about with the beta version too, though I have to admit, it seems easier to post pictures now.

i actually think i like it! who'd've thought? it is waaaaay faster and i like the change.

change is good.

only thing i'm just a teeny bit concerned about is unwanted/unwarranted comments. right now i can moderate pretty easily since i've been off for a bit, but when i am back in the swing?

comment moderation, here i come :)

(steve! nice to see you!!)
