A gripe about the new blogger

I like the new blogger because it allows for labels and it is faster to publish. All the other stuff is just just bells and whistles to me.

But this gets under my collar: I can't customise the html so that I can make expandable blog posts or align my images any more. There must be a new way to align the images not hosted by blogger—I can't imagine them upgrading blogger and not including this function—but I don't know it for now, and even if I do, I have 988 old posts using the < div id="image_left"> and <span class="shortpost"> tag which is now completely useless. Aghhh.

What is a blogger supposed to do if she has an afterthought that she wants to append to a post?

(Just noticed that "blogger" may refer to the person who blogs, the software that we use to blog, or the company that hosts the software. Very versatile!)

Is it even possible to switch back to the old blogger?

There is no switching back. This is unfortunate.

So, what I did? I switched to another free blog host. I'm much happier now, though Wordpress has its funky foibles too.
