To hell with Beta Blogger

Damn...I'm hating this.The first post after holidays being a complaint.

Let me say it again. To hell with Beta Blogger.

Editing the template took so 2hrs of time.I was trying to edit the template( this was the first time though), and it took me about an hour and a half to figure out that this bloody Beta Blogger needs all the code compliant to W3C standards and uses strict DHTML 1.0 coding."All the code has to be rewritten", I thought.But then I looked for some help online.On Google.The searches proved futile.One site after another. Still no solution.

Then, looked back into Blogger's other tabs and began experimenting.

A hour and a half well spent(?), there it was .It required that I type in the code as a HTML/Javascript snippet in the Template>Page Elements.

The previous Blogger supported the code( the same code) right on the template page itself.Then why doesn't Beta Blogger do?And more important is the fact that there is no mention of such differences between the previous version and this.

And ,providing something to cheer about is the fact that now the posting is really faster than the previous version.
