Beta Blogger Tabs

If you navigate over to my blog you'll notice the latest "hack" that I installed. This was made possible by two Beta Blogger hackers (Hoctro and Ramani). It allows for categories within Blogger, such that clicking on one of the tabs will display all the postings that have been tagged with that name. There is a default Home tag and the next five are selected by their frequency (e.g., how many times that category has been used for a posting)

Moving over to Blogger Beta

I took the plung today and decided to move my blog over to the Beta version of Blogger. So far so good, the new interfaces for editting your template and layout are very easy to use. In almost all the cases I just copied any scripts from the old template into the new "Html/javascript" layout module. In some cases I left them un-named, if I didn't want some thing labeled, like the site meter, meta tags, technorati, etc. Overall, about 98% of the elements that I had in the original are now incorporated into the new version. I also changed the template to freshen it up a little. The only thing missing is the "Bike Lane" graphic that I had created. I haven't quite figured out how to get it back up into the header area, but I'm working on it.
