Thirteenth Thursday Thirteen!



For my 13th Thursday 13
I present 13 reasons every cat should be a Beta Blogger kitty:

1. It really is easier to switch now than when they rolled it out. Lots & lots of bugs got worked out. The current snafu with posting comments has nothing to do with Beta - it's affecting both regular & Beta blogs.

2. You can change your template anytime you want -- easy!

3. You can change your Blog's colors & fonts super duper easily!

4. Adding pictures into your sidebar is amazingly simple! NO HTML required!

5. Updating & arranging your linkies is so easy, you'll wonder why you ever messed with HTML in the first place -- just copy/paste and presto!

6. You can re-arrange your sidebar SO easily -- want labels on top one day, and archives on top tomorrow? Well, just click and drag and re-arrange! Presto!

7. Speaking of labels -- you can't label posts on old regular Blogger.

8. You can add cool animated widgets (like Not The Mama has on his bloggie) into your sidebar or blog title easily (a bit of HTML knowledge is required for this, but if my Not The Mama can figure it out, so can YOU!).

9. When you get comments e-mailed to you in Beta, your e-mail will tell you what post (and from what blog if you have multiple blogs!) that comment came from! And, on your Beta dashboard page, you can see if you have any comments (and how many!) for each post!

10. FTP Bloggers can now switch to Beta.
FTP means that you have a dotcom site that you post to, instead of a blogspot.
For example: morgenpittman.com versus morgenfiles.blogspot.com
(by the way, if you try morgenpittman.com, it will take you to It's A Blog Eat Blog World -- it's set up to forward via GoDaddy that way!)

11. As of this past weekend, "team" -- or multiple member blogs, can now be Beta-ized.

12. When you go to publish your post, it shows up instantly on your blog -- no more waiting for that exclamation point in a circle!

13. Sooner or later, all Blogs will hafta switch anyways...
This is what Blogger has to say about it:

"At this point, the pieces are in place:

This all means that we’ll be removing the “beta” from the new Blogger very soon! At that time, we’ll begin the process of requiring that users of old Blogger move to new Blogger."

My Not The Mama says he's more than happy to help anybody with the transition.

Hope e-furry-body has a nice Thursday!
Meow for now,
