I tried to tweak my sidebar, and as a result my sad but beloved old Blogger template was forcibly taken away from me -- which unfortunately means I've lost all the old comments and my blogroll.
I'm not at home, and I think I've got the old blogroll on my home computer, so I'll restore that soon enough, I hope, but I think all your stored pearls of wisdom are gone. I thought I turned on Blogger comments, but I can't seem to get them to work. I'll keep trying....
UPDATE: Well, apparently this post has comments, but no others. I'll see what I can do to fix that. (Oh well -- I hated Echo anyway.)
I'm going to try to keep this message at the top of the blog for a while, so you'll
CHECK JUST BELOW FOR NEW POSTS.
And I will try to get the old comments restored, though I'm not optimistic. And please e-mail me at nomoremister (at) hotmail (dot) com if you can't comment now....
I like it!
ReplyDeleteOh, well, my old comments sucked anyway.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the tweaking.
I prefer the new look, but I always planned to ask a Web designer how I could save my old comments and transfer them over before I upgraded. Oh well, no hope for that now, I suppose.
ReplyDeleteI can comment again!
ReplyDeleteThis is obviously good news for John McCain.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I've been afraid to touch my old WordPress template for fear of something like this. And I do feel sorry for you, because I've lost all kinds of things trying to tweak my sidebar in the past.

ReplyDeleteI wish to speak to you now. Where are my links? You blindly change your blog, hmm? What a loss. People have no grasp of what they do. You broke my links, you lost my posts, and you forced me into making some account on someone else's system! And that is what grieves me the most! I am beside myself with grief! I contributed meaningless dribble to this blog since my wife showed it to me.
ReplyDeleteThe books should be burning.

Can't believe gulag hasn't shown up yet. I'm worried about him.
ReplyDeleteMuch better looking now, 'though the two columns for the sidebar aren't really wide enough. I suppose that, being employed & all, you don't have oodles of time, but try some of the new templates in "Design."
ReplyDeleteI'm going to fix those sidebar columns soon. (It looks easy enough even for me.)
ReplyDeleteAdjusted now. Better?
ReplyDeleteI echo your sentiments
ReplyDeleteOh, jeez, wow, what a trip. It's like a whole different place, now. I agree, I loved your old template, as basic as it was.
ReplyDeleteFor one thing, I'm not real fond of the giant fonts on this new thing.

ReplyDeleteConcerning font size: Click the cursor on the page, anywhere that isn't a link. Hold down the Control key while scrolling the mouse wheel down. The font size will decrease. Quit holding and scrolling when it gets to a size you like.
ReplyDeleteOr: Click on page, anywhere etc. Hold down Control while clicking on hyphen key. Font will shrink. Oops -- too small? Control plus plus key. There! Fixed it.
Learning these basic tools (waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy later than I should have figured them out) has made mt browsing life so much more enjoyable.
Good luck with it all, Steve. I've been playing with a new template for my own Blogger blog (using the same book background, actually). I believe there is a way to import the old JS-Kit comments (Roy Edroso was looking into it, too, at one point), but I think it was a bit involved and may have involved prep work before conversion.
ReplyDeleteOlder versions of Blogger didn't have the "newer post-older post" links, and the category and search functions stopped working properly, which is why I've been considering the switch.
