More on Beta

Plus: Adding a new post and re-publishing is about a brazillian times faster than it used to be.

Plus: The new template lets you have funky branching archive links (see /dev/null's blog)

Plus: Editing your template using their GUI tool is very straightforward. Point and click and drag.

Minus: Logging into Blogger is now synched to logging into Gmail. I can't have my personal-Gmail account logged in to check email and simultaneously update my blog with my blogger-Gmail account.

Minus: No HTML editing of templates. That means no stat counting, no terror alert warning, no image for my title bar.

Conclusion: Unfortunately that last 'minus' point is a complete and total dealbreaker. Maybe when they allow raw HTML editing; until then, I'm sticking with the old template. Oh well.

Update! I also have to be logged in to my blogger-gmail account just to leave a comment on a blog. That sucks.
