Has Any Migrated to The New Blogger BETA?

If you use Blogger.com for content management on your own domain name and you've migrated to the new Blogger beta, please reply with info on how it went for you. I'm particularly interested in knowing if your template and all your settings migrated properly, and if all your URL's were preserved.

I dont use Blogger.com

but i have a question, why do you use yahoo.com as your signature?

 

Yes! I migrated but initially had some problem
with ftp publishing. Seems Google fixed the ftp
problem now. Would be even better have sftp.

See my blog www.adiwebs.com

 

Tried it. Hated it. Went back to original.

 

Did you keep your old template? If so, did it migrate without any problems?

I noticed a broken image link @ your blog: is it a migration-related problem?

 

How is that possible? According to Blogger.com, you can't go back once migrated...

 

Tried it, looks cool...

Better than the old one

 

The images are lading here. Please tell me which image is not loading.
The beta blogger still has many problems. Sometimes it says publishing
failed and hangs for a long time. I have not noticed this is the last few
days and there was an official post at blogger buzz about this problem.
Think they fixed it.

The new version has many new features like tags, etc. They also integrated
it into gmail. So it is quite easy now as login username/password load on our
memory will be reduced by 1 unit.

 

I haven't yet, but from what I have been hearing, your template if it has been modified or is not one of the ones Blogger uses will get totally messed up and a lot of people are complaining that the comments do not work right...

Myself, I'll wait until it's final and maybe after looking at the code changes I may switch, but I'm going to hold out until the end if I can...

 

I'm also waiting until they force me to migrate -- no doubt. I'm quite nervous about it, as I have 16 Blogger.com blogs; serious migration issues could cost me a lot, in more ways than one.

 

I migrated a customised template with no issues at all. It had been a 2-column blogger template that I changed to a 3-column one with some modifications.

I do wish, however, Google would stop trying to force people to use their stupid toolbar for quick posts and provide a simple javascript button to do it (like the BlogThis!).

And the RSS feed isn't working properly yet, I don't believe.

 

Well, at least there's some hope my stuff won't get messed up.

 

I expected the migration to completely stuff my template but was pleasantly surprised when it went without a hitch.

There are still some issues surrounding the new version of blogger - if I were giving advice I would say wait a bit longer.

 

I thought it wasn't possible to go back once converted to beta?

 

Its currently rather difficult to switch from blogger beta to your own hosted Wordpress platform.. just something I experienced myself recently
