Blogger upgrade

Google finally got around to inviting me to upgrade to the new Blogger beta. I had been feeling slightly neglected. So far the main benefit has been that I no longer need to republish when altering posts or the template. I am now able to use "labels" to categorize my posts, which I might feel a little silly doing just because users of LiveJournal have had this functionality since what seems like the early 1970s and, as an INTP on the Myers-Briggs type indicator (the apotheosis of self-reporting), I tend to either embrace such things early or dismiss them as unimportant. Similarly, I tend to dismiss things I'm not immediately good at as unimportant skills. For example, juggling—pointless.

Maybe I'll give the labels a try. If nothing else, I should be able to get a good poll out of some of the more fanciful label ideas.

I will see what other benefits there are to the Blogger upgrade. When they announced it, my impression was that it would make it much easier for people who don't want to learn any HTML to create individualized templates. I'd like to see a feature that automatically creates parodies of MySpace pages. Now that would be something.

By the way, I'm sorry that I don't have a music player here at the blog that would blast some MWR-essence-capturing song at you on every visit. Maybe I'll have to look into that. Ah, but what would it be? Another poll!
