a question...
---
Is it worth the switch?
---
I have heard a lot of negativity, and not so many people pumping it.
---
If you are using Beta, would you mind sharing your opinion?
---
Thanks :)

#2anyone want Gmail? I have heaps of invitations to give out.By the way, I thought Gmail was intended to prevent spammers. I have tons of spam lately where I had almost none before.---

Can someone please help me figure out how to install the code for my sidebar which will make it easier to check out who has updated their blog? I know most of you have this already, and would really appreciate your help.

Just another picture I found this morning and wanted to post of my son when he was little.

He was just too cute.

I wonder what the issue is preventing you from joining GMR?
Just like his papa. :)
HUGS....
Count me out.
You can change your entire template in 10 minutes. Really!
As for Lemuel, I was invited to join It's Raining Men and GMR, and it is not a big deal to have an old blogger site and a Beta site. Just two different passwords. It's really not a problem, as far as I'm concerned.
If you want to switch, do it. You'll get used to the little quirks (which are getting fewer and fewer) over time.
That pics is adorable!
I do like being able to catagorize my postings, and updating my blog with a change is almost immediate, as opposed to the several minutes (sometimes) that it used to take...
Your son is adorable! That horse is HUGE
Regarding the blogroll thing - blogger doesn't have the feature where it shows who has updated their blog, but if you sign up with blogrolling.com, you can do it. It's also easier to add new blogs to your sidebar.
Good luck!
Jerry: But I bet you secretly like pervy!
ur-spo: ditto I think, I'm still undecided.
brad: A positive comment about Beta! :) I like that it simplfies template editing, that has been quite the learning experience. If I do go with it and have Lemuel's trouble then I might just create another profile for that purpose.
doug: Yea I've heard them also. We'll see.
john: I heard that people have had issues switching, even been denied before. That is weird!!
vuboq: Yes I am very much liking them as well.
tigeryogi: If anything will sell me on it, it is that you guys mention the publishing improvements. I know those delays all too well.
spider: Well I was hopeful that perhaps quirks in the regular Blogger would be remedied, and it seems like some have, unfortunately new quirks have surfaced with Beta.
patti: Thanks, he was soo cute back then (now he looks like a little man, cute doesn't apply anymore lol) they grow up too fast. Actually that was our welsh Pony, and he wasn't very big at all. Next to my little son tho he does look much larger.
will: Hm.. I never got those messages.
donnie: once again with the ease of publishing, sounds really great. I'm going to blogrolling.com later, thanks for the info!
neil: Thanks buddy for the comment, you are cementing what everyone else has said. I love your template by the way, it's beautiful!!
The switch itself was no problem at all. But I wasn't able to log in for about 48 hours after the switch.
One thing I don't like is that my browser doesn't log me in anymore, i.e. doesn't remember my identity. I need to log on myself every time. And if I wrote a comment but forgot to log in ... then it's a little hassle. I don't recommend a switch.
And I know what you mean about Gmail. I still have tons of invites too and .... well no one has accepted the ones I offered :\
I agree that blogrolling.com is pretty fantastic. Once you have signed up there's even a feature to put up on your toolbar so with a click you can add someone's blog to the list. And it's free...or at least I didn't "upgrade".
Have a great weekend buddy!!
*hugs*
I hate Gmail and love the new Windows version of Hotmail.
What was the other thing?
1. Having to log in every 5 seconds
2. Have not been able upload from YouTube since beginning Beta!
3.Tried to update sidebar and lost formatting ability and now can't upload a normal pix aaaarrrggh!
Fuck it!
I persist with beta.blogger in the hope that more objects will become available as it is developed.
However, at this stage, a few tools on my blog site require HTML editing.
Some sites that use Wodpress appear to have more flexibility and a great collection of templates to choose from...
Blogrolling.com is the best way to manage your links. You have to pay if you want more than one list.
Good luck, Paul
*giant hugs*
I LOVE MY GMAIL! And the chat is great because you don't have to download anything to chit chat, so it is work safe (shhhhh)
If you want something to keep up with your blog reading use Bloglines. I am using it and it is WONDERFUL. You can even download a little "Notifier" that will let you know when there are new posts. It is actually good because it only tells you when someone posts, not when someone updates like our blogrolls do. I was getting irritated when my blogroll would say someone posted but it wasn't at all it was just an update or something.
As for the update thingy...it is part of blogrolling. Let me know if I can help you (if you haven't already got the help.
I only get to catch up on reading blogs on the weekends right now so I have to catch up on about 300 posts!
Hope you are having a good week-Jeff
