Google announced that they'd be forcing us to the "new" Blogger in late June.
I gave it a short test drive.
The main change I saw was in the list of posts. The added a giant letter from the first letter of the title, unless there's picture in the post, then they use that.
It puts about six posts where you can see them instead of 20.
The new design means a lot more scrolling to get to a post to see it.
Everything is going to icons. You can hover to see what they mean, but... If I have to hover, the meaning of the icon is unclear.
Yeah, I saw that notification too. Gave the new and "improved" option a try, didn't care for it either. Less info taking up more space. WTF?!? At least they did grandfather-in the "legacy" format option aka the "regular" one, the one we use now, which I like a whole lot better.
ReplyDeleteI think the new Blogger is going to be default, but the old version will still be available.
ReplyDeleteChanging software just to make it look cool and different is stupid and annoying. I am OK with actually making it better or more functional.
