It's up to YOU.

New hotness or old and busted?

I mentioned this earlier when I first came back from holiday, but it's kinda playing on my mind a little more now. Well, it would because EVERY time I log into The Fortress I get this message asking if I want to change to the all-new version of this Blogger website.

And my answer to that is - I dunno.

See, on the one hand it won't change a thing. All the threads, all the replies, all the links (I think) and all the pictures (I think) will still all be there. Well, Blogger themselves said the content and the layout will be the same, nothing will be changed.

What is different, however, is a far more user-friendly format (something I've always derided this site for). How I understand it, is that if I want a folder, say, for my reviews - I can put all my reviews in the one folder, instead of having them fill up the page everytime I post them (I usually do them in blocks of five). And if I want to keep a certain topic going, I can make seperate entries and keep them all in the same place. Like, I dunno, the new Spider-Man movie. I could keep a running progress on that - from the first mini trailer and comments on it, to the full trailer with comments, to the movie itself and then maybe even the DVD and, hey, maybe even the sequel!

I'm sure there are other benefits ("drag and drop template editing" whatever that means) but I won't be sure until I sign up and start playing around with it.

But here's the bad part. Once I sign up - there's no going back. I can't use it and say, "hmmm.. na, I liked the old way better." It's that way or no way. Plus, you need to be signed up to Blogger before you can post. It's not a problem for the regulars here, but the odd "anonymous" writer won't be able to pop in and post.

So here's where YOU come in. What do YOU think I should do? What would YOU like? The way I see it, there are a few options..

1. Stick with what we know - The Fortress as it is.
2. Go for it - change is always good.
3. Stick with the old format for now, until you get a few more people in so it actually makes a difference.


The ball is your court, people. Let me know.
