Dear Blogger,

As much as I like the concept of the new Dynamic Views, I hate how much control I have to give up to get the new look. I try not to be a control freak. But...
  • I like to see the lovely smiles of the people kind enough to read and follow my blog
  • I like using Disqus to be able to reply to comments and keep the conversation going
  • I like being able to list the blogs that inspire me and send others that way
 Overall, I like making blogging less about me and my content and more about community and the richness other people have to offer. So...despite the lovely look of Dynamic Views, I'm going back to my old template.

Thanks for everything. I hope you can make Dynamic Views more community oriented sometime in the future.

Kim

P.S. It really stinks that all the great comments people left while I was trying on the new look are lost. I hope those kind souls know that I appreciate every single one of them,

  1. We can change back???  Going to work on that tomorrow.  Ugh, I'm with you on the new format.  Not great.

  3. I'd been dragging my feet about switching to a dynamic view, so glad now that I didn't do it for all the reasons you listed.

  4. Melissa, you should have an option to "revert to last saved template" or something like that to get you back to where you started. Good luck!
