Am I the last to know?

I was just fiddling around with the posts via the dashboard (yes I know I should be working on getting a "real" post together), and I accidentally clicked on the little arrow (>) next to the post title, rather than View. The latter may take a while to open and it will open yet another browser window. However, you usually want to just have a quick look at the contents of a post before you apply a label or do an edit. Well that little arrow (>) will expand the post entry, without photos, to just the text. It's quick and no extra browser window is opened.

Everyone has probably figured that out long ago, but just in case you hadn't...

Aaargh!

When I switched to "layout" just now, rather than "template", things are not as I wish them to look AND I've lost my list of Blogs I Like to Read. Anybody have any ideas or advice, other than constructing the list manually??

Good instructions for applying labels

I see that like me, a number of you have been putting off the inevitable (switching to new Blogger) - well we hung on as long as we could! I wonder how many people there were left at the end?

And now there's the question of taking advantage of some of the new features. One of those features is applying labels. Not everyone wants to do that; some of you may want to but think that the only way to do that is to go through each and every post and apply the labels individually. That would be tedious! Sue has sent me the link to Zoey's instructions on a MUCH EASIER way to do this, and it works a treat. Click on the title link above - she's even got screen dumps to make the job easier!

So, now I'm on the new Blogger...

...and I didn't have a choice! When I went to do a post (because Peter made me feel guilty about not having a new post when he visited today - thanks Peter!), I was FORCED to switch to the new Blogger NOW!

Ok, so it really only took less than a minute (gee, what does that say about my blog?), but I wasn't ready. What if something weird happens, and of course I've never made a copy of my blog on a cd. Ok, so I've had a peek and it still looks the same, the blog AND this post form. One thing is different though, and that is I can now apply labels.

Great, just when I was thinking I'm not posting because I'm not sure people would be interested, and then I'm prompted to put in labels! However, that activity is very related to a librarian's work, so I suppose I'll get used to it, despite being retired. Oh, did I mention that I'm retired? heh heh

Well, here goes. I'll press the publish button and see what happens...
