Actually, that is Blogger's title. I'm too lazy to come up with anything else to call this post. My feelings about nuBlogger have been summed up pretty well at this blog
The new look of the site and the new templates are just what the doctor ordered. Also, making permalinks, now called Page Posts, appears fairly easy. But I must say that making people have to mess with typing code just to put links in the gutter (sidebar) is not very user friendly. It is one of the main reasons my primary blog is elsewhere. In a related diss, losing any changes to the sidebar whenever you change the template hardly makes sense if the whole aim of the new, improved site is to get casual bloggers--such as myself-- to use Blogger as their host. Maybe it is impossible to change templates without losing additions to the sidebar, I'm not tech savvy at all, so that could be the case. But I somehow doubt it.
How can I really complain? Blogger has been nice enough (or perhaps inattentive enough) to allow me to diss them without kicking me off the site. Maybe they know that no one reads Pila Posts. I'd like to think that they are just so fair-minded and obsessed with free speech that they refuse to dump complainers.

The Future Is Now
Isn't that something legendary football coach Vince Lombardi said?
The phrase is apt now. I'm back with a new post, so that comment about maybe coming back in the future has come true. Whether I'm back to stay is another matter.
Props to Blogger for providing some new features and better looking templates that don't take lots of knowledge of HTML, web design, etc. to apply. I did lose the links in my sidebar, but since this will be at best a secondary blog, that doesn't really matter. I do love the look of the polka dot template. It is clean, cute and easy to read.
I was sorto surprised by Blogger's changes, given they came with no warning. I was a bit afraid that maybe I'd typed in the wrong URL or something. The home page is easier on the eyes, but does kinda look like "Blogging for Dummies." That is not necessarily a bad thing, especially for bloggers such as myself.
It appears that adding stuff to the sidebar is still not particularly easy. But I could be wrong about that.
Anyway, if you happen by, please check out my primary blog . Feel free to stop by here. Who knows when I may decide to change the template just for the heck of it.
