The New Blogger Format is Poorly Designed

The new Blogger format is an improvement alright. It is not a better design, however, than the replaced version. Instead of form follows motion, it is the other way around in this iteration. If the user doesn't adapt to the Blogger programmer's whim, too bad.

Google forgets the Blogger app is just the back-office of the user's blog. The old Blogger version got the job done, even if it were out of style with Google. Frankly, I could care less about the new look. It's busy and fragmented. All the essential blogging tools are now scattered or partitioned off from the main app.

Score: 2 (5 is best).
