Blogger in beta

I preferred the Previous Posts section in the old Blogger that listed your complete title instead of cutting it off like beta Blogger does. My long titles have been created so that a visitor can scan a title and see all the information that I want them to see in a condensed form. If the titles are cut off, then that function is cut off, too.

I would also prefer that the new label links would link to all similar title links rather than the entire post. If you had just the title links, a visitor could scan for titles of interest rather than read through a lengthy first or second posting or slog through the complete postings looking for a posting title of interest. It should be more like an index or table of contents.

You can also no longer call up old individual posts for linking purposes. You can call them up by entering its exact title into Blogger search, but you get a long string of search terms at the end of your URL It's not as authentic.

And maybe a list of label categories in the sidebar would be convenient.

Why have so many positive features of the old Blogger been dropped?
