So, after noodling around in beta in response to a reader's question about using Haloscan's new auto-import system with the new blogger, I was greeted with an arm-twisty hammerlock (I exaggerate for comic effect, of course!) in my old account and encouraged to make the move, thus Freshblog now resides in Beta.

Congratulations, John! :-) (Not there myself quite yet. ;-)
I've just followed suit. Are you going to stick with your 'classic' template, or upgrade to Layouts?
If you decide to incorporate some of the new features whilst sticking with Classic, a "how-to" post for the rest of us would be most helpful!
(Or, for that matter, if you switch. A one-stop-shop with all the essential new widgetry would be pretty cool too.)
welcome aboard john ^^

You mean the New Blogger section of the Wiki? ;)
John, the only thing beta has going for it is the labels, but you lose a few great features old Blogger had. You would think Blogger would keep features that worked and just added to it, but no, that's too smart!
I use to be able to add great banners to my blog easily by simply uploading them to a post, copying the image links from that post, then add them to my blogs template, but that doesn't work anymore!
I'm not providing a link to my profile due to the extremely offensive language directed to Google's Blogger in my latest post.
Am also forced to shift on new blogger. Google is playing a big time boss now.
