I want a Slanket too!

I'm telling you, I'm not doing a damn thing to "upgrade" to "new Blogger" until you've figured out all the headaches so I don't have to.

The main upgrade is nothing. You upgrade to their new interface, and you keep your current template. I'm currently on New Blogger. Except for the addition of "labels", there's nothing different, really.

The layouts, however, are a completely different story. And maybe I'll figure out your template after I've learned all the tricks...
