The Dumbed down blogger layout

 This week as I felt like doing something only to find you can no longer.

See back in 2010 they launched a new template designer which had a wysiwyg interface which enabled you to fine tune any Blogger template, changing background colours, text sizes of any elements such as links or pages and their fonts and for the page module the width of the bar so you could have a really attractive and neatly put together blog all edited on your computer with no need to use HTML editing or CSS sheets to customize it.

When they redid the interface to enter your post on to it appears someone at Google decided to dumb down the layout changes to just Text width, Right hand side margin, text size, colour and that was about it.

No doubt this was done to fit in with the idea that people want to make stand alone blogs on a smartphone to the point any customization was removed for the rest of us.

No longer could you set the text size and font of the headings, individual elements and so on.

This means I can't change the text size I originally set for pages, the colour of the current  or the length of tab bar to one that might suit any new pages I may wish to add.

To me Blogger really has lost what it had over Wordpress, a excellent layout designer negating any need to install templates and twiddle using codes to make a highly impressive blog and for what?
