samedi, juin 30, 2007  I've bitten the bullet and finally made the change to the "new" and "upgraded" blogger, recently out of beta, but I'm really not happy with the level of control that has been wrest away from my html-happy fingers. I've been squinting away at the new blog template, seeing if the tags still make sense, but blogger seems to have moved from being something easy to use and fully customisable, to a huge monster that doesn't allow you to do anything you want.Take, for example, the links on my sidebar. Once completely independent of my post settings, their attributes are now joined with the posts. If the posts are in Arial 8pt, they too, must follow suit. If my post font colour is grey #666666, they too, have no choice but to be grey #666666, even though they might have theological issues with the hexadecimal colour. I cannot control how my header looks like - not unless I completely screw up the editing of the original template, and then what's the point of using the template in the first place? I wanted to stretch the header to 100% width, and 250 pixels in height, with 0 margin left right up down. If the new template were truly user-friendly, it would allow me to do this with a click-and-drag action. I'll be moving back to my old 3.2 template soon, except maybe upgrading it to 3.3 or something. Goodbye lpsd 5.0. It's been a pain. Libellés : technology [oh dear, what's to be done] |
