Testing - new BloGGer -

I don't particularly like -

Change for the sake of change -

Especially new computer "techy" stuff -

It's not usually any better -

It's just different - ;))

"They" say -

Blogger has been introducing some fresh pages that work well on mobile.
Leave us feedback by clicking the Help icon in the top bar.

That might be true -

But I don't care about "fresh pages that work well on mobile" -

I read my favorite blogs and write my posts using my laptop -

And you may not really want BOB to leave you any feedback - LOL - ;))

But I thought I would take a look -

Just to what was what - ;))

Some of the things that I noticed -

#1 - There's a whole LOT of wasted white space in the new format -

#2 - I also saw a whole LOT of extra HTML code in my DRAFT -
Bold "brackets" code with nothing to BOLD between them - and DIV codes -

#3 - AFTER I finally saw the CREATE NEW POST button in the bottom right corner -
It's an ORANGE circle with a WHITE "+" in the middle of it -
Like I'm supposed to know what THAT means -
In the LAST place I looked - LOL - ;))

#4 - Then I tried to see if I could add a photo -

HA!! - I did it!! -

So after I figured out where my photos WERE -
that little black box with the white "mountain" looking thingy in it -
up there at the top right - in Compose mode -
to the left of the smiley face -
(which looks like it's for special characters - not emojis) -
clicked on that -
then - under PHOTOS -
I found one - and "Selected" it -
And it put it where the CURSOR was - NOT at the top -
Which is actually a NICE feature!! - LOL - ;))

I haven't found my "Comments Awaiting Moderation" yet -

But another thing about the NEW BloGGer that I didn't like -

In the listing of my POSTS -

The buttons USED to be EDIT - PREVIEW - DELETE -

I could EDIT - then PREVIEW - then DELETE it if I didn't like it -

The NEW way - has icons - instead of words -
And the TRASHCAN for DELETE your post is BEFORE the EYE to PREVIEW it -

Instead of AFTER it like the OLD way -

So I need to be sure to SKIP it when I want to PREVIEW my post -

I wonder how many times I would accidentally delete something -

That took me hours to write/edit/link -

I promise you -

BOB will NOT be a happy camper if/when I do - LOL - ;))

And if the cavemen used PICTURES in their caves -

Before we developed the written WORD and LANGUAGE -

Aren't we RE-gressing if we're going from WORDS BACK to PICTURES? -

Asking for a friend - LOL - ;))

"They" also say -

The legacy (OLD way) interface will still be optionally available.

Which is good -

Because I'll probably use the "legacy interface" for as long as I can -

Since it ain't broke -

And I still know how to read - LOL - ;))



Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
