I keep running into more and more reasons why it would have been a better idea to hold off on switching to blogger in beta. I mainly made the switch so that I could label my posts and use that as a way to organize and manage them. It is a nice feature that just about all blogs (except old blogger blogs) have. But then there are the problems... First, once you update your template to a blogger in beta template (such as this one) you are no longer able to edit the html directly. Blogger says that it will change this soon, but what is soon - next month? Next year? Next decade? Then today I tried to post a comment to another blogger blog (Create Book) but was unable to because I was blogger in beta, and they were old blogger. Again the error message said that this would soon change, but I am not holding my breath. At least I had the sence to keep the old blogger blog template for my Children's books blog, to get around some of these problems (I can still edit the html directly, which is critical to the layout of that blog.)
The problem of course is that blogger is attempting to idiot proof the whole blogging process, and the more you simplify things, the more functionality that's lost.
