I’ve been waiting and waiting to convert this blog to Google’s new Blogger Beta format. From what I’ve read, if you get selected to convert your blog to the new format, when you log into your dashboard you’ll see a link in the sidebar saying something like “Try Blogger Beta!”.

Well, I’ve been waiting and I haven’t seen shit.

So tonight I decided to start a brand new blog (using the new Blogger Beta format). I’m still keeping this blog as a sort of catch-all for keeping friends and family up on all the news that is me, so I needed a more specific topic for the new blog.

I decided on SimplyObservations. A blog where I can just spout off about anything I feel like. (Yeah – I know – this here blog is pretty much about anything I feel like, but the new one will have a bit more structure)

Blogger Beta has a pretty slick editor from what I’ve seen so far and a couple neat features that I want to play with. I’m also going to try to syndicate it just like this blog so I can link up the most recent post on the home page

I thought of making some sort of formal promise to try to post an observation everyday – but even I’m laughing so hard that it’s taking me forever just to type this sentence. But we’ll see. I’m looking forward to being able to just drop in a few sentences and maybe a picture about a product or a place or a weird thing that happened to me, give it a tag and post it (the new Blogger posts way faster too) without feeling guilty that “I didn’t write enough” or that “this post doesn’t have anything to do with anything”.

‘Cause it’s all in the eye of the Observer.
