Well, here I am blogging on "New Blogger." I knew the time would come when "Old Blogger" woundn't be an option any more.

Well, having been a knight in the 12th century, I'm used to innovations that at first sound dodgy but eventually establish their merits and justify their existence. Printing -- that would be one. And electricity. I'm not an "early adapter" (or is it "adopter"?) by nature, and at first I thought those ideas were just nuts. Go know, right?

Then one day everyone was gassing about the "New Mass," and I'm like, dude, the Council of Trent was 400 years ago, and the liturgy they promulgated wasn't strictly speaking "new" even then. Then I found out what they meant, but for now let's not dwell.

When the Internet came along, I was like, whatev'. Then came blogging: putting your opinions out there without an editor -- not even a poetic interpreter, like Dante! Now this had potential....

So to all of you who are (still) with Blogger but are hesitating over New Blogger: it doesn't hurt, at least not like getting cloven with a Saracen sword.
