Upgraded to new Blogger platform
The conversion process went well, I suppose. Even though we have a customized template, the switch didn't seem to mess things up as far as I can tell. However, afterwards when I went into the template to try to tweak some things I only had the choice to 'republish blog' with no option to 'republish index only'. That meant a 2+ hour FTP session with my hosting service as the new template wanted to create pages for every one of 8300+ posts, even though I hadn't turned that function on until a few months ago.
Anyhooo...
Please hit the feedback link or leave a comment if you notice any problems.
Also- added a switch to turn Snap previews on and off over in the right sidebar, since that seems to annoy some folks.
