I confess...the other day Xazmin and I were messing around with our blogs while texting and she asked me a question about the new interface. Which I don't think is actually that new, it's just something that I, personally, have been avoiding. Other than clicking, seeing it, freaking out and going back to the old, that's all I've done.
I confess...I clicked over to the new interface and this time it wouldn't let me go back. O.M.Heck! What did I do?? What kind of crap is this? I don't get it!! I hate new stuff. Hate it. Haaaaate. I even pondered not doing a post until I was confident enough on the new interface to do one. Meh. I may not get it yet, but I'm still here, so whatever.
I confess...speaking of being afraid of (whoops, did i say that? i mean i don't like them. not skurred. <-- lie.) trying new things I have to admit, for the first time ever I'm seriously considering Wordpress. Also why I'm not getting Facebook's new "Timeline" thingy yet either. I'm holding out. Until they make me.
I confess...I don't like how Google has a handle on everything. They have their fingerprint everywhere. The whole GFC thing not being available anywhere but Google sites, Google+, and everything else they're doing with combining sites and whatnot just makes me nervous. I don't think any one company should have so much information about anyone, unless you work for em, maybe. We spend too much time online these days and have to much important information online for Google to want to be a part of that. IMO.
I confess...I need suggestions for Cursing Crafter. Seriously, what would you like to see there? Any ideas are welcome. Of course it doesn't mean I will do em...**sighs**
I confess...I really want a new design for my blog. I can't afford one. Boo. Anyone a designer who wants to trade advertising for a new design? **wink wink**
I confess...TGIFFF! (finally freaking friday!)
I confess...my dashboard says that I have 666 posted posts on my blog. That. Is. Creepy.
I deleted my google+. Guess what I discovered? When I googled a picture, a result came up that was from my blog, and when I clicked on it, it SAID MY NAME. First and last. My blog is supposed to be somewhat anonymous. I was not happy to see a picture from my blog displaying my first and last name.
I am freaked out by HOW MUCH of the crap I've done online is all tied together with google now. I am like you - it is not okay. Not okay. Talk about Big Brother.
it all confuses me I tried setting up a page for my blog on facebook and keep it seperate from my family one but guess what facebook hooked them together. i am so lost when it comes to computer stuff
I am such a freak that when FB switched me to timeline, I went through and deleted like 400 people off my friends list. It just creeps me out that so many people are privy to my personal conversations from like 5 years ago! Eeek. It probably won't be long before I close it completely.
Google is def taking over the world. I use Picnik to edit my photos and 2 weeks ago they alerted me that in April, I'll no longer be able to sue their services b/c Google bought them out. Freakin' sucks. :o(
I'm a little nervous about Google combining everything too. I may own my company, but I see this as an adverse thing professionally. I like to keep my personal life (and blog) somewhat separate from my professional life.
I tried the new interface on Blogger two different times and I don't mind using it on a normal computer, but I really don't like it on my netbook. Especially the dashboard. I had the hardest time seeing the blogs I follow and seeing new posts. I'll change when they make me.
I don't even bother to comment on Wordpress sites, because it is freaking impossible. Seriously, half the time you have to "subscribe" to even leave a comment, and then they want your email, blog address, name, favorite color, date of birth, social security number...
Ok, not really, but it feels like i'm filling out a questionaire just to say, "LOL! I've totally done that, before!" or something. Not that my comments are ever THAT lame, but ya know what i mean.
I too am not thrilled with the Google empire. I feel like the head of the company probably dresses up like Darth Vader and says cheesy shit like 'Blogger, I am your father...'
And...anyway...I have an idea for your shop if you knit? Do you knit? Mostly cause I need some of those cute boot sock sleeve things that I keep seeing on Pinterest...only...I don't knit :-(
Oooh I would <3 to help you out. However, I can't right now. I'm busy with school and the kids and have projects I have to get done....but maybe in the summer if you can even wait that long. Let me know. I do like Facebook Timeline, once I clicked on it it's pretty easy. It basically just changes the view of your profile and organizes your junk better. Change can be good, but i've often thought about wordpress myself! I don't know how to design those blogs yet :]
I'm with you. I'm sick of google changing things,...just when you get used to something, they snatch it away. And quit changing how things look. I'm older now and I don't adapt to change as well as I used to.
I was getting really seriously about making the jump to wordpress then I heard that GFC would not work there... so I am waiting a while to see how that all goes down and then will decide. I do not like Google+ and yes, google is trying to take over everything- I have a cousin-in-law that works for them and says it is the best company to work for but still doesn't make me have to like it
Ok, now I don't know if I'm on the old interface or the new. You have me too freaked out to try it. I don't like new things either which is why my facebook is just like yours. I don't like fb messing up everything for me. It just needs to stay the same.
Don't go to wordpress. I hate wordpress. But I completely understand where you're coming from with googleprints every where. I bet they are big bully's.
I love your page! Why you need to change it? And when am I going to use my $20 on CC? Good grief. I suck. I'll go pick something out RIGHT NOW!
I'm still on the old interface. I clicked on the new one a couple of weeks ago, and almost couldn't find my way back to the old one. I was FREAKING out. Seriously thought I may never blog again. But then, I'm a firm believer in 'ya don't fix what's not broken!'
I'm juuuuuust now signed up for FB. But only for the photography business. And it's totally confusing me. I like the blog so much better!
Wish I could do blog design for ya. I can barely install a free blog design for myself. That's how lame I am when it comes to technology.
I have the new Blogger interface and the timeline thing on Facebook. I don't like either, but don't really have a choice in the matter. Why can't people leave well enough alone!
The timeline looks cool on my phone, but on an actual PC... IT SUCKS!
I like Timeline, it doesn't super suck. I just go with the flow...
I think you should do cute hair pretties & more magnets. I also think you should use your mad Cricuit skillz & do fun things... maybe not on such a large scale cuz ummm I KNOW how much you hated me for my large scale request, which by the way my lazy ass still hasn't hung. I suck.
Any takers on the new blog design? You are SUPPPAH popular & so awesome, someone should be begging you to post an ad for them!!!
New interface...took me forever to get used to it. I am still making mistakes. But mostly like it now. FB timeline...still learning to love it. I am not sure I do. I do like the header feature. Or whatever they call it. WP totally scares me. One day.. maybe. But probably not. hahaha.

I need a new design for my blog as well. I just have no clue who to go to for one!
I confess I have no idea what you're talking about when you mention the new interface. off to figure it out...

You better hurry and post something else!!!
Cursing Crafter... let's see... Did you ever try the messenger bag?
Or fleece ponchos for little girls?

Oh gawd! Reading everyone's comments gave me a headache. I'm not clicking on anything. I'll stay where I'm at.
I'm with you. I'm sick of google changing things,...just when you get used to something, they snatch it away. And quit changing how things look. I'm older now and I don't adapt to change as well as I used to.
I hardly am ever on Google + and I love blogger! Hopping over from Mamarazzi's site! Happy weekend!

Crap ... I can't hanldle all this new stuff ... I guess it is hard to teach a (gulp) old dog new tricks :)

Every time FB changes, I have a bit of a hard time adjusting. I get so comfortable with something, it becomes hard for me to change it up.
I have the new Blogger interface and the timeline thing on Facebook. I don't like either, but don't really have a choice in the matter. Why can't people leave well enough alone!
The timeline looks cool on my phone, but on an actual PC... IT SUCKS!
New interface? Ummmm, am I missing something???
I like Timeline, it doesn't super suck. I just go with the flow...
