I should have held off, because I&rsquo;m not really making use of any of the new features, and it broke some of the things that made it easy to post, most importantly the &ldquo;blog this&rdquo; button included so prominently in its Google Toolbar.  This means a couple of extra steps of cutting and pasting for each new post, a real pain.  The &ldquo;New&rdquo; Blogger also broke the <a href=\"http:\/\/ecmanaut.blogspot.com\/2006\/01\/blogger-post-tagging-update-good.html\" target=\"_blank\">Greasemonkey script I used to automate inclusion of del.icio.us category tags<\/a>, again requiring a couple of extra steps per post.  I realize that Blogger has now introduced category &ldquo;labels,&rdquo; a feature that was long overdue, but now that I&rsquo;ve committed to using del.icio.us as my means of managing categories, I&rsquo;m loathe to change over to something new.<\/p>\n<p>I&rsquo;ve been lazy enough as it is as far as posting, so the combination of these new obstacles to posting didn&rsquo;t help my recent lack of enthusiasm.  I hope that I can get over this malaise and\/or figure out a way to get my work flow back soon.  I do have plenty of stuff saved up over the holidays to post; hopefully it&rsquo;s not old news by now&hellip; \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>Finally, if you notice any down time over the weekend, it is due to a transition to a new hosting provider, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dreamhost.com\/r.cgi?263204\" title=\"Dreamhost referring link\" target=\"_blank\">Dreamhost<\/a>.  I&rsquo;ll most likely be switching over on Friday, and I&rsquo;m hoping that it will go smoothly, as I won&rsquo;t kill my old Yahoo hosting account until I&rsquo;m sure that the new site is up and running, which could take the weekend depending on how quickly DNS changes propagate.  If there are any major issues, I&rsquo;ll make a status post letting everyone know.  Thanks for being patient; hopefully I&rsquo;ll get back into the swing of things and post more consistently&hellip;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Update:<\/strong> The &ldquo;blog this&rdquo; functionality of Google Toolbar has finally been repaired, so that&rsquo;s a big help to me.  However, I have yet to find an updated Greasemonkey script for del.icio.us categorizing that works with the &ldquo;New&rdquo; Blogger, so I have to hand code tags for each post until I figure that out.
