Bless this mess

Blogger and I are going to have to have a little talk about bloatware. For those who use it, maybe you know what I mean. Ever since Google bought Blogger things have been changing, a lot and mostly for the worse. Yeah I guess the profiles are interesting, but now the editing environment has all these different modes. Some of the core features are gone, and now CSS is used for everything automatically. This is messy and clunky, and rife with formatting errors. I spend most of my time fixing the junk generated by Blogger. It also has a bunch of bugs involving files and paths, and I’ve had to manually redo a bunch of stuff that it’s mangled. I guess if things don’t change I’ll have to move to something else like livejournal, or perhaps better yet, moveable-type, if I can find a server to host in my price range (free).

Anyway, sorry the image tables and spacing look like crap. Blogger isn’t even playing nice with my browsers anymore (Firefox _or_ IE). I guess mostly I’m apologizing to myself, because it really bothers me to have shoddy work associated with anything I do.
