NEWS: See Blogger / Blogspot in a Different, Dynamic View

Blog enthusiasts, take note of today's Blogger announcement!  According to Google's Buzz page, the new system allows the blog reader/viewer/user to see Blogger blogs through a fresh, new perspective by using AJAX, HTML5 and CSS3 and more. Some cool features and future possibilities are said to include:

• Allowing more posts to be seen, without reloading or accessing another page: infinite scrolling.
• Different blogs may benefit from different layouts: dynamic views gives you five ways to be seen.
• Content can be experienced in increasingly interactive ways.
  AND, perhaps in the most appealing way for my purposes,
  
• Images no longer are downloaded at once: load speed increases cos you download images as you view them.

FLIPCARD, MOSAIC, SIDEBAR, TIMESLIDE, and SNAPSHOT are the five new views.  To see what they look like, see A Non-Denominational Ceremony's blog in the 'snapshot view'.  Toward the top right, click on the blue pulldown menu if you want to see any of the other new display types.

GIVING BACK: Wish Upon A Wedding!
