Goodbye, legacy Blogger interface?

After I posted the previous post, Blogger switched Orange Crate Art to the new Blogger interface, with no option to revert to the legacy interface. Grr. But I created this post from the legacy Dashboard (open in another tab), saved it, went back to the Dashboard, and the old interface was still there. But I fear its days are now really numbered. I will hit Publish, see what happens, and report back.

The legacy interface still stands.

Oops— not anymore.

5:58 p.m.: And now, on “the desktop,” as they say, the legacy interface has returned. I couldn’t reach it by phone.

I've been making myself work with the new interface for a week or almost two now. The image workaround is a big pain. And my huge Twitter round-up is really painful now because when I paste it none of the paragraph returns remain, so I have put in P tags and so on and work in HTML.

The image workaround? I don’t know what that’s about (yet). I just saw a pretty unintuitive icon for approving a comment: a checkmark. Huh?

I think you can set Blogger to recognize Returns as line breaks, can’t you? I’m not even going to try to find out on my phone.

They haven't yet forced the switch on my blog, but likely my days are numbered :-) A did a post a few minutes ago using the old interface. Maybe that'll be the last one with old interface.

I’m going to see if I can summon up the legacy version when I’m back at my Mac.

It's not a workaround, really: just working in HTML.
