Experimenting
Blogger came out with a bunch of new features so over the next few days or so I will be experimenting with them a bit to see what I can do to make this a more pleasureable experience.
I love that I can now do comments with blogger.com, so I will be dumping my old comment system soon, so don't use it. Unfortunately only new blog entries can have the new comment system. That's ok. I have a lot of pages I need to go back through and update the picture link to them. As you can see, the pictures on many of my entries have since died. That's not good. That will be a bitch to update.

SAN FRANCISCO, California (AP) -- Internet search engine leader Google Inc. on Monday introduced a simpler way to publish the online personal journals known as "blogs," continuing a flurry of improvements that has coincided with stiffer competition from its former ally, Yahoo! Inc.
The revisions to Google's Blogger.com are designed to make it easier for computer neophytes to create and update their own personal journals for free.
The journals -- known as Web logs, or blogs for short -- have caught on among the high-tech cognoscenti as an alternative way to spread information and commentary, skirting the mainstream media.
Mountain View, California-based Google hopes the Blogger changes will encourage more people to visit and use the 5-year-old site. It's the first significant upgrade of Blogger.com since Google bought the site's parent company, Pyra Labs, 15 months ago.
Google declined to reveal how many people use Blogger.com, which boasted more than 1 million members, including 200,000 active blogs, at the time of the acquisition.
