THE NEW GOOGLE BLOGGER FORMAT IS AN UTTER HORROR -

I'm DESPISING it.  You have to scroll more - the lines are CARTOONISHLY LARGE - for CHILDREN or THE LEGALLY BLIND. Every post features a picture block.  I rarely post pictures. The dates are obscure - they should be where they were - easy to find.  I would have difficulty finding what I want to take down. TOTALLY DISCOURAGING.  TOTALLY FORCED UPON the BLOGGER.  The so called LEGACY BLOGGER, which I would be happy with forever - gone.  I clicked to return to it multiple times.  I DON'T GIVE A RATS ASS ABOUT HITS, or how my LAST POST IS DOING.  That is not my priority.  Why is it YOURS GOOGLE?  FOCUSING ON THE NUMBER OF HITS YOU GET OFTEN INFLUENCES THE WRITER TO WRITE FOR HITS - LATCHING ON TO NEWS - LOOKING FOR SOME SCANDAL, SOME HYPER-INTENSIVE SUBJECT ALREADY BEING PLAYED OUT.  IT CAN CAUSE YOU TO BE A FOLLOWER INSTEAD OF A LEADER.  TO BE DOMESTICATED INSTEAD OF RADICAL.  

Update March 2021

I'm still struggling using this hideous new horrible blogger. It says published when a post is a draft. It holds the date you started writing it, prepublushing, even when you've instructed it to be posted at a specific date in the future. 

DEBUSSY - CLAIR DE LUNA - MAN PLAYS PIANO FOR 80 YEAR OLD ELEPHANT

An 80 year old female, nearly blind... and look at those ears showing her appreciation!

RUSSIAN LADY TELLS ME DEMOCRATS CREATED CORONAVIRUS : TALKING TO STRANGERS

I see a lady waiting for the local community bus.

She says "Does Dash stop here?"

She is not wearing a mask.  She is fat and weary and sitting on the bench.

I say, "It does, but you can't get on without a mask."

She whips one out of a pants pocket with disgust.  "I hate these things," she says.

"I do too, but it's the least we can do."

"It's the Democrats... They started this."

"I'm a Democrat, " I say, being brave.  "As are my friends and as were my parents.  Democrats did not start Coronavirus - 19.  It kills them, just like it kills Republicans."

"Well. It's Bill Gates," she says.  "He started it so he could make money with his vaccine."

Why do I argue with such people? "Bill Gates is one of many people investing in science for the vaccine or the cure."

The bus pulled up.  She put her shitty mask on and got on it.  Propelled her mass.

And - this is yet one more NEW conspiracy theory I have heard about the Virus.
