pyesetzUp 0.3%, vs 1.1% for SPY. More details here. If you really need to see this in your ƒ-list, someone who still has a paid LJ can add it as a syndication feed. As of now, my stock blog has zero followers and no comments.
Blogger's Compose editor hates <p> and always converts them to <br/>, but this throws away the whitespace between paragraphs. I've turned off the "Compose" function to make sure this doesn't happen by accident. Without "Compose", previewing is very easy: just press Ctrl+Shift+P to see the preview, press it again to return to editing. But be careful! Ctrl+P without Shift means "publish"! The preview always treats blank lines in the HTML text as <br/> even though I turned that off in main options; published posts display properly. Looks like I'll be continuing to write my blog as HTML documents on my laptop and upload them only when finished.
Google's idea of "friends only" is that the entire blog is restricted to a list of named individuals who must be signed in to Google to see anything. There is no concept of "locking individual posts". But it's easy to "unpublish" an entry: just edit it and click on "Save as draft" to remove from the blog's front page.
Changing the publication date for a post doesn't seem to work. The new date shows in the editor, but the main page shows the original date!
The "Export" function downloads the entire blog as one big lump of XML, without even the decency of linebreaks between posts. Unlike LiveJournal, there is no way to download just the changes since last backup. On the plus side, comments are backed up with their entries, rather than through a separate and poorly-documented process.

I finally upgraded to Opera 11. Ick! Everything that didn't work in 10.63 is still broken, plus new stuff. I've basically stopped using it except for reading feeds. Flash is not working. Java is still not working. Feeds now insist on displaying the "mail" sidebar.
Opera formats my stock post wrong, with extraneous linebreaks in the table. Also extraneous breaks in the Company 𝔾 site header! In 10.63 this problem affected only Bugzilla's site header.
Opera displays my stock blog's "Neuton" font wrongly (always bold, so the explicitly-bold stuff doesn't look any different).
Opera no longer displays "favourite" icons for websites. Instead it shows a security icon that seems redundant with the padlock.
What is Opera ASA's problem? They seem to have lost their touch. I'm back to Firefox.

Yeah I noticed that, and tried unsucccessfully to fix it. I guess a table cell of width=100% means to split other table cells, even in the middle of a word!
Didn't notice that until you mentioned it - the icon is in the tab, but not in the URL box.
Pressing F4 works for me

Date: 2011-02-23 03:15 am (UTC)LiveJournal has something of a "reputation". If you're not writing emo, you're not supposed to be here. It turns out that Blogger also has a reputation: when I click on the "Next Blog" link in their header, it shows me blog after blog of conservative Christian families and their daily goings-on.

If I reduce the width to 38%, the problem goes away. At 39% the problem appears because the table is wider than my screen, even though it is not wider than the page width already required by the conference ad above it. This is obviously a bug and it's been there for months and it just got worse instead of better.

D'oh! I never noticed that. Every time I accidentally pressed F7 I would have to carefully click on the ultra-narrow left-edge bar to close the damn thing. Still, it's a misfeature to require me to do this each time I use the Feeds menu.

I just leave the Feeds tab open all the time (as well as LJ friends page, and FA messages). In Opera 11, you can choose to make a tab only show the icon (i.e. not the title), so it takes up very little space.
Time for us to submit bug reports, I guess.
