PUT IT BACK TO HOW IT WAS BLOGGER

BLOGGER - WHAT HAVE YOU DONE??????  I DISLIKE IMMENSELY THE NEW LAYOUT IT IS MUCH HARDER TO NAVIGATE NOT SIMPLER - I USED TO BE ABLE TO SEE AT A GLANCE WHICH BLOGS I HAD AND WHETHER THERE WERE ANY COMMENTS AND NOW I HAVE TO PRESS LOADS OF TABS TO GET WHERE I WANT TO.  PUT IT BACK TO HOW IT WAS OR I WILL HAVE TO TAKE MY BLOGS ELSEWHERE - NOT THAT YOU WILL GIVE A DAMN ABOUT YOUR USERS.

CHANGE FOR THE SAKE OF CHANGE?  HAS NO ONE GOT ANYTHING BETTER TO DO THAN DESIGN THIS STUPID 'SO CALLED' IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE JUST A PAIN IN THE .....

AM I PISSED OFF?   WELL YES!

Edited to add...

Well I have calmed down a bit since this morning, but still annoyed...

This horror to find that the whole layout has changed - and not for the best.  Instead of being able to see at a glance which blogs have comments, and my reading list, you now have to 'click' a 'tab' to see the blogs individually and the different sections...so instead of one glance to see if there are any comments for example, you now have to make up to four applications.  So to check all four of my main blogs I have to execute up to 16 different moves/pages.   Now perhaps for those with just one blog it is not a problem, but for me, with different blogs to suit different readers and interests it is a nightmare.  I have been blogging for 10 years now and so this is a real shock to the system.  It will certainly put me off using it.  So I will either have to amalgamate it all into one blog, as I really don't need all the extra work this new layout will involve or find a different platform.  Whether that be my own website (I do have one from my Cavy showing and breeding days) or another site, I don't know.

Why do they change things?  I am sure those that do, don't actually USE it.  Change for the sake of change - it really wasn't necessary.  I used to find blogger one of the most user friendly blogging sites there is.  Not any more.

So will be thinking on what to do next.  

Will there be others who feel the same way as me and write to blogger to complain, or will it just be accepted, or are most not bothered?  Of course, I do realise complaining won't make any difference as who am I in the grand scheme of things, but it needed to be said.

  1. Oh dear!! I use Blogger too and so far nothing has changed and I sure hope nothing does. I'm comfortable with things just the way they are.
