An update

I'm trying out the beta version of Blogger's upcoming service update, and so far I like it. I didn't like any of their former templates, and while I still don't, I was able to customize one that I didn't hate into something I think works decently. The nice thing is that I didn't have to hand-code anything, like with the previous version: it's all WYSIWYG online editing. I opted to lose the spiny lobster background, because I have a strong suspicion that it didn't work properly in Internet Explorer.

I haven't been able to use Drivel (why can I not find a link to its webpage?) or Performancing (a Firefox extension that I've been using more often than Drivel lately) for the past few days; they both give a communications error. I assume it's a temporary problem that has something to do with the changes going on with Blogger at the moment, but that's my only gripe so far.
