Okay, so as a pioneer of change and adaptation/adoption, I have decided to convert over to Blogger Beta and try out some of their control features. They offer more flexibility but also have a higher learning curve. I'm going to have to take a weekend some time and really dig into what is going on with the HTML/Scripting within the page. Overall I think Blogger is moving in the right direction by trying to become more customizable for individual users. I'm looking forward to being a part of this beta and whenever I screw-up my page I hope you all don't laugh too much at what's going on with it. That's all for now, I have mid-terms that I must needs return to. Good night.

A weird painted man nearly lives here,
he’s been in and out so often
coming through here like some stray
cat that has claimed this place as home.
The locals avoid him,
well not the man with pink underwear.
I don't want to see anyone,
more
I don't want to be seen.
My ass is numb from the plastic seat;
I haven't slept in two days,
there are people sleeping on the ground;
but the floor smells like tears, spit,
maybe some stale urine,
bleached-over blood,
a sense of hopelessness.
this eight hour Hell
consumed what I was.
I hate the man with
my name between
midnight and waking.

I had not herd they were doing a beta... I love modification (can you tell by my blog?). Hopefully they will allow comment form modification, thats what I want to see.
So I scoped out blogger Beta, and I am impressed and unimpressed all at the same time.
The new template options makes adding things to your blog fairly idiot proof, now any one can do it. That was a plus for making it generally user friendly for those who don't know HTML and thus more competative as many sites don't do this.
I enjoy the new tags option it makes searching blogs easier. This is something I wish had been implimented earlier. I almost added a third party thing that did this but never got it to work and look like I wanted so I canned it. I am glad blogger is adding it.
But I did find that blogger has left the comment section, the most difficult thing to modify (even for advanced users) compleatly unchanged. This is a huge disappointment as many people have wanted changes made here since blogger first roll out.
But alas I am not eligible to use blogger Beta yet, I have not gotten my invitation to convert and so I have to wait (as I am not changing all my sites to convert). I will keep checking your blog to see what other improovements have been made.
