Blogger Beta

Alright, I have switched over to the new Blogger Beta this morning, which allows me one nice new feature: labels. Below each post, a label may be assigned to create a categorical inventory of the blog. I will try to start using them, but the label “bush sucks” may lose all relative meaning if I attach it to every blog entry. So, we’ll see. (And I will try to go back through my archive and assign labels to posts, but that we’ll take some time to do. Let’s consider it a work in progress.)

The FTP-publishing seems to be improved with the new Blogger (for now). Let us hope that continues. Other than that, the new Blogger is the same as the old Blogger. (Oh, Google, how do you sleep at night?)

On a curious note, as I publish, I am forced to key-in one of those word-verification dealies. (You know, where they show you this image of jumbled letters that takes a few moments to guess if the “k” is actually an “h” or if that capital “I” is in-fact a lowercase “l.”) The reason I need to go through the verification process is, apparently, this is a spam blog… “Blogger’s spam-prevention robots have detected that your blog has characteristics of a spam blog. Since you’re an actual person reading this, your blog is probably not a spam blog. Automated spam detection is inherently fuzzy, and we sincerely apologize for this false positive.” Hmmm… Thanks for the confidence, Google.

For your information and guidance, this blog-entry has the label “blogger,” as shown below…

(Note: The number of tries at word-verification — 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.)
