Thursday means it's time for Thursday Two Questions.
Let's talk about Blogger.
1) On the Blogger dashboard today it is asking you to update to the new Blogger Interface. Have you tried it yet? If not why?
2) What would you like to see changed in Blogger? How could it be better?
Bonus question: Word Verification? Love it or Hate it?

1) I have tried the new interface and it will take some getting used to but I like it so far.
2) Blogger is not user friendly for SEO and I have been spending quite a bit of time making it friendly.
Word verification doesn't bother me too much, but, I don't feel it is needed
that's a cute heart---you have an amazing eye! love the row of Corvettes, too.
i tried the new interface this morning and i already encountered some problems. i agree with Brenda H, it will take some getting used to. i hope it would be more efficient over time.
i haven't tried other publishing services so i can really compare. so far, i'm happy with Blogger.
Hate word verification.:p
it should be *can't* really compare.:p
I see the heart! So cute!
Love the color of the blue Corvette.
Very pretty and shiny things in a row!
1) Yeah I just did about a half-an-hour ago. I'm not sure I like it yet. I'll probably just have to get used to it and then I'll love it.
2) I'd like a few more design options. I'm not sure what specifically but I just get so indecisive about the design of my blog.
Bonus: I don't hate it but it can get a little annoying when I just wanna post a quick comment and be on my way.

I have not, but will after this comment. I saw it flash in my face, and I say- I got no time for this now.
I like the interface the way it is now. I supposed it could be more intuitive, I wished that I can sort my posts by labels while able to view other posts at the same time -like excel. Reason is sometimes blogger don't catch all the post with the same labels. ugh...It takes a lot of time going back and forth...
I have tried the new interface, and I like it so far. It will just take time getting used to. Right now, I'm still looking for where things are.
Word verification is ok with me!
We do have similar questions, Judy :-) and I see the tiny heart.
Absolutely beautiful lily!!
I'll take a fire engine red 'Vette please.
1. I must have missed Blogger asking me to update my interface. I'm no techie so I might have had to ask exactly what that was. LOL
2. All I want Blogger to do is keep running! I'm addicted
3.Word verification: I wish it was either on all blogs or not at on any. Sometimes I don't see it and lose all I've typed.

I love that little heart! I didn't know about the new interface so obviously I haven't used it yet. I am usually happy to wait until the bugs are found and removed. I like Blogger pretty much the way it is right now. I don't use the word verification any more but I don't mind it when others do. I get a bit of spam but their filter catches it and I read them and throw them away.
I love the little heart! How cute is that?
Corvettes in a row! Sweet!
I have not tried the new interface. I'm already having my issue with Blogger. The other day on the dashboard it said that I didn't follow any blogs. SAY WHAT???? I panicked for a few seconds then went to Google Reader and saw them all there. Whew! Close call!
I would prefer NO word verification! It just takes up time.
i clicked into it, went "yuck" and changed back. now if they make us change, i'm sure i'll adjust. just wasn't in the mood.
i just hope blogger can remain stable for a bit. so many issues this year (but for a free service, i won't moan too much...) i do wish google reader allowed you to leave comments on blogs without loading the entire blog page.
i detest W.Ver!
i would have missed the heart, even with the post title had to hunt for it. and there it is. you know i LOVE the ROW of vettes. there is a place in St Pete called the Corvette Store and this could be a shot from there.
I already use the new blogger, so did not get the question, i started it way back when they started it, i always go to the new to keep up with things as they happen, that way don't get blindsided when they do away with the old way.
i don't like the way the reader is now, i would like to have the scroll bar back on the list of blogs and one on the blog, 2 of them and also when i click on the blog in the list it flips to the bottom and i have to find the first post and makes me crazy since that is how i follow my blogs.
hate word verification, and it is not needed now with the spam catcher that works beautifully. no problems since i removed mine.
i tried it for 2 seconds and switched back
i'm sure I'll think of what it is as soon as I post this comment
hate word verification
being a guy that second pic melted my heart ;)
The little heart is so sweet, and the row of Corvettes is too dazzling. I'll just take two, one for each foot, LOL.
Re Blogger's new interface, it hasn't addressed my primary "want" — I want to go directly to my dashboard from the main page of my blog. I answered their little questionnaire and told them so. Otherwise, I think it is just change for the sake of change, because the Google people want to be seen as doing something.

1. I am not seeing anything relating to the new blogger look...LOL...am I missing a picture here or something...hehe
2. I'd like for the headings to be easier to incorporate...the labels also...not enough streamlining for me!
I can't believe you saw that heart! Cool!
I LOVE the corvettes!
1) No--didn't have time. I have to go deliver meals on wheels today. Will try it later.
2) I enjoy blogger but it can be difficult when working with the pictures if you don't get them in the correct spot at first. Moving them seems to be difficult. OTOH, the new picture uploader is much better than in the past!
3) Unfortunately I think the word verification is needed to cut down on spam messages. I don't really like them--just a necessity because of a few people who like to take advantage...
Did YOU try it? What do you think? Because you are kind of an expert in this, should I use it? Well, I checked it out last night, and right away when you click to do a new post, it only starts off with a title line, so you have to name the post before you write it. I don't like that! I like to write my post first, then see what the name should be. I'm also afraid that if I start using it and don't like it, I can't go back to the old way. But maybe they have new backgrounds? Your header is spectacular, I love it!! And I do see the cute tiny heart!
The heart is adorable! Corvettes are always good, especially shiny clean ones! Great in a row pic!
I didn't try the upgrade, I'm still figuring out my blog so I'm not ready for a change.
I would like for everything to show up on my blog. Sometimes my members don't show or the blogs that I'm following.
The word verification doesn't really matter to me, but I haven't had any problems without it.
Great questions!
Cute little heart on the flower.
Love those 'vettes in a row!
Haven't tried the new interface yet. Much too short on time this week to mess with it.
Word Verification doesn't bother me either way, but I finally took it off my comment section and seem to have more comments now.
the 'vettes definitely work for me!
I use Wordpress, but have a Blogger account for my signs meme - the new format looks like it would be easier to read for the blogs you follow.
I wish that Blogger would let Worpress accounts comment without having a Blogger account
hate word verification. it is annoying and not even consistently utilized so I often end up losing my comment.
I love both pictures! Each so different, yet fantastic in their own right.
Gonna answer part...absolutely hate word verification and embedded comments. Pain to go back three times!
I'll just go right to word verification (if that's okay). It SUCKS! Especially so if comments aren't done in the popup window.
We should all make it easier for people to comment on our blogs.
Blogger would be better if it didn't have so darn many bugs in it. Other than that, I like it!
Love the heart you found. I haven't tried the new interface yet..kind of scared to, LOL. I hate word verification, but people had had a hard time leaving comments on my blog without it...so not sure what to do about that!
You have an incredible look for details! Love that flower heart.
I don't like word verification but I understand why it is used.
But I hate it in combination with comment approval because it is unnecessary in that case.
I gasped when I saw this tiny little heart - it's so beautiful and perfect.
I haven't tried the new thingy-dingy that popped up on my blogs ... mostly because I'm technologically challenged and am not even sure what it is. Should I be admitting this??? Lol.
I enjoy Blogger as it is, mostly because I don't know any better. It has become an outlet for me that I never had before, and I have met the most amazing friends here.
I love the colors in these photos.
I don't see a new interface. This has been new since a year ago.
2. I would love for them to make their comment box more interactive.
It is a very nice blog and beauty of the flowers, i hope this blog is helpful for my furnace filters business. It is one of the best furnace filter service provider.
