I do like the immediacy of the publishing.

and being able to "create a new post" directly fr the blog.

and the customizing had advantages, sure. (and since hasn't forced me to 'update' my mucked-up templates, no loss?)

will need to alter my set-up for posting pictures fr flicker to blogs *if* I ever get into doing that again. not currently relevant.

no blog-this button (creating title link to page), that's a bummer, but they are working on it right?
