Frustrations
I'm not sure about this new format. I have a few beefs with it, such as:
- With the old system, I liked that I was automatically logged on whenever I visited my personal URL. If I wasn't (because I'd cleared out my cookies or something), I could visit the log on page, click on 'keep me logged on' or something to that effect and it would be so. Now, I have to visit the homepage to log on. At some point, that expires and I have to enter my password again.
- I no longer have categories for my links. They're all smushed together.
- The layouts suck. Especially the extended version of the layouts page where, apparently, "thousands of layouts" are available. I search for every topic I had even a remote interest in and nothing. The layouts seem to all be aimed at teens. There are loads of Cameron Diaz layouts or some boy band. Or 'loooooooove' layouts. Bleugh!
- Comments: When someone leaves a comment, a link back to their blog is not provided. Only their name. And strangely, the only link that is provided with their comment is a date. When clicked, it simply shows you the comment again. Errr, thanks.
- Old comments: I've no idea who left them because the links no longer work and the name isn't even there. Major grrr!
Well, that's it for now. 20six have got me though. I want to keep my blog. Everything I've ever written in a blog is here. So I'm probably unlikely to look elsewhere.
Anyway, when I come up with more, I'll post them here. Watch this space!

Flighty / Website (7.6.06 22:57) Your few beefs are mine as well! There are plenty more. I have blogs elsewhere but I'm sad to be going to one of these to use as my main blog instead of staying here. It's all such a shame. |

lynanne / Website (15.6.06 09:23) The new layout is, well, interesting... a bit hard on the eyes, but what do I know? Maybe it just takes some getting used to. It seems like forever since I've had time to read your blog. I couldn'd the archives to get completely caught up but I was so excited to hear/read your news!!!! Congrats on the pregnancy!!! All the best! |
