I definitely HATE the NEW BLOGGER!

Twice I've expressed my dissatisfaction with the new Blogger interface:
- October 06/2012: How could Blogger do this to G@tto?
- April 05/2012: Not Sure 'the New Blogger' is welcome!


The first time, it was kind of a test, you still could use the old version, but the second 
time the changes were applied permanently. No way back, no choice, finished! 
Freedom, with Blogger-blogging, was over.


This dissatisfaction has rapidly evolved into a rage that literally chokes me every time 
I want to publish something, and images in particular.
What emerges from this is a clear decrease in the number of posts per month on this 
blog - this decrease being directly connected with the need to reduce the number of 
my uncontrollable anger attacks!



In this struggle for survival, your faithful blogging-c@t, is forced and compelled, after 
six years of friendly collaboration with Blogger, to abandon 'the traitor'to find a more 
welcoming platform... if any.

Have a pleasant 'Bastille Day', you all in France!

Yours faithful,
G@tto

- Google Groups: I don't like the new Blogger interface...

and so on.

Not sure 'the new Blogger is Welcome'!

I think Blogger is the more 'intuitive' platform for blogging. They can change anything
they want in the Dashboard but please... do not modify the photo editor!
Last time it has been a total failure:

How could Blogger do this to G@tto?

On 4 October, former post editor was removed and replaced with a runt whose Blogger
seems to be proud of...

I've tried the new version months ago, but altough they say it has been improved, it is
actually less efficient and it requires a better html knowledge than mine - and without it
I could hardly master the publication. The miserables tools that have escaped the quarry
were not sufficient to ensure photo documents a neat layout.
For over four years I've been faithful to Blogger, at the head of three blogs. Now this was
putting me just at the door - I was so upset that I spent a good deal on WordPress...
but, thanks the Almighty, the previous one is now back online!

I hate the new Blogger post editor. How could they do this to me ?
:o(

Waiting for the virtual postman...

... to deliver 10 MB Google additional storage
for G@tto's pics on Picasa.

... Now, as it may take up to 24 hours for the 10 GB of storage
to appear in my account, maybe there will be some new posts
(with pics) on PPG before I leave for a 2 weeks vacation...

When not on Blogger, G@tto is...

... on !

Blogger Followers Widget is cool...

Seeing that I have : I thought I can try and see if by chance I can have
more... so I've put the new Blogger Followers widget just under the blog's header... see it ?

Now what is Following ?

"The Followers widget is a great tool to help you grow your blog's audience.
Readers often visit a blog and enjoy it but fail to return. With the followers
widget you can get all readers to return and become a fan".
You can then enter your desired title for your Following widget. Once you
have chosen a title, click the orange SAVE button. You have now added the Following widget
to your blog. Readers can now go your blog and become a follower !

Once your readers become followers of your blog, their profile picture will be displayed in your
Following widget. A running count of your followers will be displayed next to the blog name
on your dashboard.
