The new Blogger is here!! The new Blogger is here!!

Got here and logged in this morning and was met with a BRAND NEW EDIT SCREEN! Cool! And then there's THIS little gem:

You're using Blogger LoFi.

This version of Blogger has been designed for web browsers that lack robust Stylesheet and/or DHTML capabilities.

We're sorry if you reached this page in error ...Soon we'll allow you to over-ride the automatic re-direction.

WOW! I feel so antiquated--so weak...so low fidelity and non-robust!!

Of course, even if it's the ALL NEW DANO software, it's still Blogger, so I expect it to break soon. Or lose my archives. Or have a server explosion. (Their servers seem to be constructed along the same blueprints as old steamboat boilers. For a while thare it seemed like they were losing a Sultana every week.)

Then again, it might just work fine. Hard to tell. I like the preview function. The buttons now put in "strong" for "bold", and "em" for "italic", which is new, and different, yet still somehow a rather useless innovation. You know, it would be nice if they had more little buttons to do underline and strikeout and super- and subscripts and blockquotes and change font sizes or faces and junk like that.

But that's okay, I don't need this stuff. Just this ashtray. And this paddle game, the ashtray and the paddle game and that's all I need. And this remote control. The ashtray, the paddle game and the remote control, and that's all I need. And these matches. The ashtray, and these matches, and the remote control and the paddle ball. And this lamp. The ashtray, this paddle game and the remote control and the lamp and that's all I need. And that's all I need too. I don't need one other thing, not one - I need this! The paddle game, and the chair, and the remote control, and the matches, for sure. Well what are you looking at? What do you think I am, some kind of a jerk or something? And this! And that's all I need. The ashtray, the remote control, the paddle game, this magazine and the chair.
