In the old version, I could click on edit after I publish and then be taken straight into the post to make changes. Now I click edit and I'm taken to the dashboard where I have to "revert to draft" and then edit. Muda. Waste.
When you typed a label in the old version it just worked. Now you type it, click it, then you have to type over it to do the next one?? Or choose from a list, I guess. SUCK ME.
Those are my biggest gripes. The other stuff is just that things look a little different on the dash. And yeah yeah yeah, things change. I know. But I'm really grumpy about it. I get used to using a tool and I just want to use the tool. I don't want to change the tool. But I can relax on this one... things change and we roll with the changes. Stagnation is bad.
But muda is fucking annoying. Fuck your extra clicks, Blogger.
I opted into the "try the new blogger!" thing early and have constantly been running into these annoyances. I let them keep stinging me until I accidentally deleted a whole post when I did something the interface wasn't expecting and I fully rage-quit. Now I just make the whole post in a distraction-free writer offline and then copy the html into blogger when I'm done.
ReplyDeleteI fell ya.
DeleteI've been using Blogger since 2005. I make extensive use of tagging and have about 8000 of them now. The new interface has a limit of 5000, which is disappointing, but hey-ho. How does it deal with my over-the-limit quantity? Freeze it and prevent me from adding more? That would be sensible. But oh no. No no no. Instead I get a continuous pop-up warning telling me the limit is 5000 and I can't save any edited content. As far as I can see there is literally no way I can address this from inside the new interface.
ReplyDeleteI opted back out.
