So blogger has given itself a makeover and I’m still on the fence about it. It now comes with comments, which I have enabled for now, sadly at the expense of all the comments that came before. Perhaps the best part about taking out the old comments was the part where I cut out the css tags. Brilliant. Of course, this is why I do things like save my code in an e-mail or word document before I go off doing something stupid… like deleting the csss style tag. But if it can all work in house, then I can be a happy camper. I miss my old blogger interface, but I’m sure I’ll be over it in about a minute.
There may be changes coming to The Royal Word in the coming days as I test this puppy out and see what it can do for me. Right now I’ve discovered that I can turn comments on and off for a particular post (nothing shocking for MT users)and the blogger logo now has rounded edges. ooooooh.
And just FYI, there’s a beauty blog on the horizon. Prepare your credit cards.
Today’s sing-a-long song: “New” by No Doubt
HRH
Edit: Still waiting for those comments to appear…
Even More Edit: It appears that there are issues, so I’ll enable the new comments when I have time. Boo!
Edit 3!: And, thanks to Miguel, Master o’ tech support… there are comments!
Interesting… others who aren’t blogger users should try this as well.

Hmmm… quite interesting. I’m “anonymous.” Well screw you, Mr. Anonymous Blogger man. It’s me, none other than Matej.
I guess Blogger is trying to get more people on the boat. Not the best of strategies, I’d say. It looks good, and there seem to be some neat features for Blogger users, but they could at least allow me to add my name.
And there it is, my two cents.

Hrm. I can’t say that I like this whole tow the party line or loose your identity thing.
Others, chime in and let me know if you prefer this to the other comments. I can’t say that I like something that strips my man of this wonderful name.
(Plus the majority of my blog buddies are MT users. Don’t want to alienate the audience)
Hrmmm….

Well, you *can* create a Blogger account, sign in, and get your name posted that way. Of course, I’m not terribly thrilled with the way the comments are presented, but presumably some CSSification could clear that up a wee bit, too.
My offer to migrate you over to MT stands, as always.

OK, so if you go and pick a new template like you just did, the whole “comments look like ass” thing I was referring to does seem to go away.
The real question: can you do this without hurting your sista’s feelings?
