A HEADS UP

Blogger is fixin to FORCE me to upgrade to the new format.. I dont know what is gonna happen cause I'm real sure that more than just me have been puttin it off till the bugs have been taken care of..

The notice says that nothin is gonna change for the Visitor.. They also say that more OPTIONS are gonna be available..

Hey WB, I was gonna tell you about this after our last conversation here about you not having a pain in the ass hard to read code thingy to post.

Blogger has been naggin me to convert RR to Blogger Beta, or the New Blogger, or whatever to hell they call it now, but I have been procrastinating for months, because like you said, things get flubbed up....

But what I was gonna tell you was, that once you upgrade to the new one, every single time anyone using Internet Explorer, which is like almost everyone, opens a comment thread they are going to have This Warning Box pop up, and be forced to close it before they can continue......EVERY SINGLE TIME.

It dont take but a second to close but....EVERY SINGLE TIME....qualifies as a pain in the arse.

You may have noticed this already on other Blogger blogs that have already upgraded.

In my case, Haloscan and the new Blogger dont see eye to eye...some people have converted with no problems...but some less HTML proficient types like myself are having a hard time making it work.

I'd put it off as long as you can dude.....but thats my MO about everything in life. ;-)

BTW....did you see how it changes the way you post.....supossed to make it easier an shit.....and if I changed to beta it my screw my fellow contributors up.....ir vise versa......

Ive noticed with that warning box, if you answer "yes" it allows the pictures besides commenters names to be displayed, and if you say "No" those pics dont load.
