Loved this new Interface. the Bonus Point is the Auto SEO Options :)
ReplyDeleteThe Update is really great I never thought of leaving older interface when i first saw the newer interface in 2011 but its feature attracted my like a bee who needs a juice of Flowers so i started using Newer interface it has many features which are beyond the description really hats off to Google and Blogger team who just totally make over Blogger.Now Blogger do looks like a website which is using 2012 technology.I don't think so any one will be using Older interface as newer interface is way way better then it.And comming back to you Sir well what should i say you are truly a Master piece for not only Pakistan but for entire world.you are the men who are giving the perspective to the entire world how good talent we Pakistanis are GEO Mustafa Sir....Love YOU
ReplyDeleteOld is Gold.
ReplyDelete@Varinder Pal Singh
ReplyDeleteI Agree with him
But New is Diamond
Awesome but i dont like this new Interface
ReplyDeletenew interface is best , In fact I am using it for past few months
ReplyDeleteNewer version is ok but still have few bugs.
ReplyDeleteOn 1 April Can We Able To Switch Back To Old Template ?
ReplyDeleteI rather the old interface but the meta description for postings seems cool I guess, if it really helps who knows.
ReplyDeleteThe new features seem cool but very confusing when you go to it, could they create something that looks better and more user friendly.
And it would not hurt them to create a contact form in the control panel.
I really love this new interface. Its faster & smarter than old interface :)

ReplyDeleteI think this is really bad news for all of us, and I am not sure if we would be still able to use "edit html" feature on custom templates.
ReplyDeleteI haven't figured out how you can look at your posts grouped under a label. The choice seems to be just ' All, Draft or Published'. So I usually switch between new and old interface.
ReplyDeletehow to upload template in new blogger interface?
ReplyDeleteThanks Mohammad, Currently I'm using new interface for my blog and your updates regarding this very useful. One more Mohammad, many of us, like me, are not comfortable with css or java script, we are using widgets or tools to our blog that is provided by u and someone other, as we like.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm expecting a post from u How to come back to a original templates leaving all widgets, tools or other scripts except blogger's original theme , I mean how to clear all the changes.
Thanks Mohammad
@Rajeeb Bastola

color choice is awful. check out my post today using new color choices, and last 700 or so using old. Colors were better under old interface. http://jianqchyun.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeletealso cannot access dashboard in IE8 after upgrading to new interface, I have to use firefox.
Nice NEw Logo Brother :)
ReplyDeleteThe colors of fonts on new interface are horrible if you have older or weaker eyes. I get headaches trying to use it. I will stay with older blogger formats as long as I can or until they darken up that font to at least a medium gray. I feel as if they are forcing those with vision issues OFF the internet, just you wait you young wippersnappers techy Google programmers till your eyes start to fail, and then tell me how much you like light gray!
ReplyDeletethe new interface edit html side too small letter
ReplyDeleteAll views are respected. Since getting adjusted with the new interface would take some time.I am sure you will like it once you discover some of its great new features.
ReplyDelete@Haider
Those SEO options is a milestone for blogger. Thanks for the logo remarks. I finally had to get rid of that childish logo. :d
@Faizan
Looks like you are really enjoying the new Bloger Dress up and this is great. As far as my contribution to blogging community is concerned then I am just a grain of salt dear. All praise goes to Allah the Mighty and readers like you who love and share the stuff else I am no different. Thanks a lot for all those kind words and remarks. Mean a lot. :>
@Green bajgain
I liked what you said. :d
@thisismyheaven.com
Bugs like?
@Osho Garg
I am sure just like other google products like Analytics and Webmasters, theme switching will be allowed for blogger too.
@the blogger
As I said it would take time to get familay with the new interface pal. There is a Send Feedback link just above the link for switching to old interface. :)
@Preetam
You can use the Edit HTML option. All options are available in it. Just explore it for yourself. :>
@itshometome
Thats true it lacks this option. Old interface provided label count and post display for a particular label. I am sure they will work on it.

@LIMITATION
Buddy the only way to reverse back all changes is to follow the tutorials in reverse order. Remove all the scripts and codes you may have added by following the related tutorials. Since everyone follows different tutorials and adds widgets from everywhere around the internet therefore codes would differ. So it would be difficult to write a generalized post on this.You can always ask me for any widget or plugin that may be causing problem in your blog and you want to know how to remove it. :)
@Umesh Tarsariya
Oh wow MashAllah thats so great. Now make sure you use Adsense wisely and may not violate any terms. I would recommend the following posts for you:
1. Lost Adsense?
2. Stop Misuse of Adsense
3. Keep Adsense out of the reach of Children at home!
Thanks for your kind remarks for the logo. I know the previous logo was giving nightmares to people just it did to you. :d
@James
I would recommend that you use Firefox or Chrome for blog editing purposes.
@Carol
I would surely agree with you on this point. I never realized the colour blindness issue linked with all of us. The current font styles and colours for layout buttons and links are surely dim and dull and lack contrast. You provided me with a great post idea! :)
@beben
Press Ctrl + + to make it large. :)
@James
ReplyDeleteI got your point now thanks to carol. :)

Mohammad, when i search in google and type Site:www.actressnavel.blogspot.com then search showing only 2 pages of blog, but when i type without www then its show all pages of my blog.

ReplyDeletewe cant use new blogger interface in opera mini or from other mobile devices. So, old interface is good. http://www.techmix.in
ReplyDeletei hate the new interface with a passion, it is slow a hell & the face that you can't upload an image, the most basic function is ridiculous. you can add a image from url link! if anyone of a way to go back to old blogger so i can post again let me know, after the thousands of post i have made google has kicked me in the teeth with the new rubbish interface, now i have to repost all my stuff on thumb blogger!
ReplyDeleteHi, I was forced today to use the new interface and I hate it. I changed some content in one of my pages and hit update but when you try to view the page it states the page no longer exist. I clicked on "revert to draft" and saw the old familiar "publish button" and still nothing. I did not change the title of the page only the content. My blog is at CouponTerri.com and the page in question is the Winn Dixie Page. What can I do to get this page to publish. I left a message on Bloggers message board but no one ever responds. Please help!
ReplyDeleteI HATE the new interface. If I click "new post" there is no option for me to add photos to my blog post. When I click on the drop down "wheel cog" in the upper right, I do not get an option to switch to the old interface. I HATE it!!!!!
ReplyDeletehate it, hate it, hate it, hate it.
ReplyDeleteit makes things so much more difficult than when the old interface was active..
now i can't go back AT ALL to the old one. very upset about this so-called improvement. HATE IT.
Not easy with new interface, even cannot edit my HTML.
ReplyDeleteWell new interface is good it has some exceptional features but to work fastly on blogger i am missing old interface which is in other words i will say OLD IS GOLD .!!
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteI would like to switch back to old one but
my cimputer doesn't show "old blogger interface"
and can't switch. Do you have any suggestions what I can do?
Thank you so much. God bless.
blessings. chiwa
In April when they forced the new interface on us for a short time, my posted images would push to the left and appear smaller. I found the old dashboard and used that after a couple days. Now that's gone. So, I was forced the change my template. I had backed up my template many times in the past in different places. I thought, even if I use a new Template I could revert back to my old one, if worse comes to worse. So now my blog has everything super spaced out. It's bigger and a bit slower then before. The pictures pop up well. Adding them is a huge pain and the HTML can easily get messed up. THE WORST PART IS MY OLD TEMPLATE DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE. If I do try to go back, the blog messes up and get a bunch of numbers on screen. Any attempts to change the blog, even ones were I don't save have effects on the live blog as well. Often while changing this the blog loses all it's links and gadgets. It's horribly scary to use.
ReplyDeleteI can't use quick edit tools anymore and the Facebook options have vanished as well. This sucks.
