OK, Let’s actually try this out…
So, it’s one thing to click around, and a whole different ball of wax to actually try using it. I’m switching back to Blogger for a little while to test out the new version
- Path publishing was all screwy; guess that’s a migration issue
- Archive permalink urls have changed to absolute URIs somewhere in between the past couple versions
- Tabs aren’t trapped, so it’s still editing w/ a textarea. Blech.
- Not sure why virtual wrapping isn’t used in Mozilla (that JS wrap function is janky). Err guess Chris never saw the virtual wrap hack?
- Like I mentioned, lack of event trapping is a pain. ie, ctrl-shift-l gives a blockquote, but continues to bubble up a location url loader in the browser.
- It’s always puzzled me why custom toolbars weren’t allowed (w/ custom shortcuts and tags.
- I’m not convinced this interface is an improvement over the old style. The tabs are good, but well, hmm, hard to describe, will have to give it some thought; editing old posts takes a lot more clicks.
- No keyboard shortcut for publishing post? I may be switching back to vim quicker than I thought.
- Forgot how much waiting for publishing sucks.
- No warning for switching out of unsaved posts? Bad form. Actually, none of the pages warn you to save changes…
- Single post ulrs break my string filtering, will have to fix that to enable comments. The message parsing for that is sort of wack however
- Hmm, interesting. Enabling comments enables single-post mode, which (besides taking forever to publish) also screws with permalinks
