So this is a new 20six

Well I'm sure I'll get used to the new platform. Although I still think the other one was better. Infact I think there are other blogsites that have a better platform this this one also.
Getting on to my blog was a bit of a mission at first. If anyone isnt too sure just go to the "Your Blogs" link after logging on. This will allow you to change, or delete your password so everyone can see your blog.
Writing an entry seems easy enough. The preview tool is a good new feature. Although this may of been on the last one but I never looked.
Editing isn't as easy when going through archived entries. Although I'm not too sure why anyone would want to edit a 5 month old entry.
The first noticable difference is the missing favourites. But everyone knew about that. Now to add all your favourites could take a while. But ladies and gents, I found a quick way to add all your favourites on.
Remember that post when you copied all your favourites and put them on an entry. Well if you go copy them, then on the "overview" section of your blog, under the adminstrator heading is a button to add "additional pages". If you add an extra page and paste all your favourites you'll find that when viewing your blog you can access all your favourites with a quick click."
But all my pictures have gone. Including all the ones from the zoo the other day.
I can at least keep tracks on comments on my own blog, by looking in the "feedback" section on the "overview" page.
Following comments on other blogs could be a little hard. I was hoping that coComment.com would of been integrated on the new platform. But it is not. So I've signed up to that for nothing. Unless 20six decide to look in to this option for comment tracking. Otherwise I'm just going to have to rely on emails. Although this means commenting on a Sammy entry could fill my inbox up pretty quick. Maybe I should open a new email account just for comments?
Another thing I dont like is always being logged out when going to the front page. THis is quite annoying. I've found I get logged out quite easily just when surfing through the new 20six.
And finally, after finding the "bloglists" button at the bottom of my overview page I found a way to have a look at all the latest entries from everyone. But for some reason, my blog wont show up on the bloglists. Strange

Edit
Well my blog is now shopping up on the bloglist. Yesss! The Jave Editor works really well when writing/editing entries. All there is a problem with youtube that I was having, but I've been able to work around and reported a possible bug that needs fixing. The Java Editor is in the "Your Data" bit and needs to be swithced on, but apperently 20six will be updated so this is always on unless switched off.
The Java Editor allows you to create links easier. But not only that you can chose if you want the link to open in the current window or a new window. Very fancy. Also creating pop ups is simple now. I'm sure Ill put this to alot of use, for now check out this sighting of a possible new leader of the World .
Comment tracking I'm told will be looked in to by integrating coComment into 20six. If everyone signs up to coComment then everyone can keep up with everyone elses comments.
But another favourite thing of mine for the new Java Editor is the pcictures. Although you can only upload pictures in the "Images" section, I can now fool around alot more. Like this..

Scroll your mouse over the image. For Real!
