Well, to be completely honest, they switched me.

I was a little concerned but by the next morning I could access my blogs though I was bummed to see that I couldn&#8217;t use the new features.  They just copy your blog over as is and you can&#8217;t use the cool widgets or change the colors of the links from the layout editor or anything else that makes  the new blogger new.  The only thing I can do is add labels to my post but I can&#8217;t display the categories.<br \/>\nSo, I&#8217;ve decided to switch templates but I have two problems: I don&#8217;t have a lot of time because I have to study for a Greek test this week and I don&#8217;t like any of the free templates.  I was thinking about rewriting this template but I don&#8217;t really know if I want to invest the time.  <a href=\"http:\/\/freeskins.blogspot.com\/2007\/02\/free-beta-new-blogger-blogspot-skin.html\">This one<\/a> is one of the few I liked so far but it&#8217;s brown and I don&#8217;t like dark colors (it&#8217;s hard on the eyes).  I may use <a href=\"http:\/\/freeskins.blogspot.com\/2007\/02\/beta-green-beam.html\">this one<\/a> but I&#8217;ll have to modify it.  Hopefully, there will be a new look to the place by the end of may.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I switched to the new Blogger.
