New Blogger Layout, Finally!

I finally moved my ass hands to change to a new layout. It was not because I did not like the old green one. In fact, I loved it and laboured more than a few hours to customize it. However, it's an old HTML layout and missing lots of goodies from new Blogger.

Also, it loads slowly. I don't know why. I already stripped off many fancy elements but still. Anyway, what prompted me to do away with the old one was all the above plus an on-going blog assessment by one of the blogging marketplaces that I work with. Of course, I would like to have my blogs retained. So out with the fancy stuff, in with a clean, faster loading template. Wished I had done this sooner, though!

I would have loved to make a little bit more customization but stupid Blogger keeps throwing BX errors at me and I can't save my edits. I am trying to make a clickable Blogger header without an image (guess I will have to keep hitting F5 for the time being until I have a solution) and just look at the sidebar! It's in total disarray. OK, I exaggerated. It's just that this is not the arrangement that I like yet I can't seem to save my placement of elements.

Well, I guess I will have to wait a bit until Blogger engineers look into my report, only if there are enough people reporting to them with my same error code. SIGH!!!

Hi, Emily,

I recently found a Snail Template that is very cute.

You know how difficult it is to find a cute Blogger template,right?

Hope you like it.

Hi Vedis,


Thanks for the link. I actually even requeted Gre for the password already but it's not suitable for my needs. I have to agree, it's so cute!

But Blogger drives me nuts with all the BX errors. Can't seem to save anything!

I hope you've been fine. Haven't seen you online lately.

Hi,
Actually I'm having a few problems also.
I tried using a customized template, then I couldn't paste my posts into the blog. (Actually, I like writing my stuff on Microsoft Word first, then paste it in Blogger)
So, now I have to change back to my default template.. So sad...

Hi there!

I'm sorry to hear you are facing problems with Blogger as well.

My friends and I are experiencing problems with customizing layout, editing HTML, rearranging page elements and a host of other issues but this is the first time I hear about not being able to paste a post!

This new Blogger is broken!
