I am one of those individuals who completely and totally FREAKED yesterday when I went into my HTML editor to change a bit of code and found that Blogger had been screwing with the layout once again.
Okay, yes, for programmers and hard-core web designers – this might be a good thing. For someone like me however, self-taught and used to being able to find things in a certain format and sequence? A complete and total nightmare!
Is it user-friendly? According to the folks at MyBloggerLab this is a good thing. It is more user-friendly (when you understand what the hell all the goobly-gop means I suppose) and for web developers who build new themes and templates for their clients or a tech-savvy blog owner (which I thought I was) who desires to customize their templates by tweaking the HTML, CSS or JavaScript coding – this is good news.
Personally, all I know is this:
- It screwed up my coding for the summarized posts – so now the entire post is showing on the home page with the […more…] being at the end of the post;
- I can’t find the …more…. code snippet in the new editor to fix it thankyouverymuch;
- I hate the way it looks;
- I hate that I can’t find the format I am accustomed to seeing;
- I hate that there isn’t an option for us to use the old format;
- Did I mention how much I HATE IT?
