Yesterday, I started my browser and found that Google had added You+ to the far left on www.google.com. Being the geek I am, naturally I joined this initiative. Google Plus immediately reorganised my Google settings and all of a sudden, my Blogger page is nowhere to be found. I had to go back to the previous Settings version to find it.
I’m all for change, but I don’t like this type of change.
Oh, and in addition to upgrading to Iceweasel, I’ve also taken the leap to the new Blogger. It’s still in beta, but I’ve already noticed significantly faster editing and publishing. There’s a seemingly nifty layout function that goes beyond static CSS hacking, but I’ve not dared to try my hand on it yet.
A possible downside is that instead of a separate Blogger logon, they’ve integrated it with memberships and stuff. I’m not sure I like that, since it would appear that to have multiple Blogger accounts, I need a distinct email address for each and every one. (Why would I want that? Glad you asked; if I want to use and display different personal profiles, that’s what ‘ll need.)
So all I need now for my Google-induced happiness is a GMail account. But that’s not yet in widespread release so I guess I’ll just have to wait.
