I am officially the happiest blogger in blogland this morning, thanks to the new customisable templates from Blogger. One of the things I always said I didn't like about Blogger was how I couldn't make this place look how I wanted, and that my options were really, really limited. If I'm honest, I still find the dashboard very confusing to use, but being able to not just tweak but completely control how my blog appears is a huge step forwards. I had been planning to shut this place down once 23 Things was over, but this might just persuade me to stay.
For more details, head over to the Blogger in Draft blog here and follow the instructions. The only thing you can't really do at the moment is upload your own photograph, but we're promised that it's coming.
Considering that when I was a student, I used to rearrange my furniture at least once a term, being able to rearrange my blog style is something that's surprisingly important to me. Thank you, Blogger!
Ooh I like your new layout. The restrictive templates were always one of the drawbacks of Blogger for me but it looks like they're upping their game now.
ReplyDeleteIt's shiny, isn't it? I decided to go for something completely different.
ReplyDeleteI still don't like that Blogger doesn't thread comments (where's my 'reply' button, dammit!?) but the layout is a vast improvement.
Nice! And seeing as Blogger has also recently introduced pages they're suddenly going a long way towards matching Wordpress for functionality.
ReplyDeleteI missed pages completely when I was setting this place up, probably because I find the dashboard so painful to use. I haven't given up on the idea of migrating, but if they keep making it better, I might be too lazy to bother ;)
