The title of this blog comes from a Gaelic expression -"putting on the poor mouth"-which means to exaggerate the direness of one's situation in order to gain time or favour from creditors.
I'm quite happy Roland. My template seems to have come through as is and in a couple of minutes. Now I have all 4 blogs on one dasboard (Poor Mouth, Plant Porn and Yet to be Named. A;so wall of speech which I joined but have never had time to put the effort into)
I converted my Blogger blog (not my usual blog) a good while ago, and I for one am grateful you changed over, jams. Until now, I had to go through a real song-and-dance every time I wanted to comment on one of your threads. This is much easier... thanks!
(Where would the world of print be without lorem ipsum. I gather it's actually genuine Latin scrambled, a passage from Cicero rearranged and used by printers since the 1500s to test the look of a page in a given typeface. See the link in my previous comment. Here ends the pedantic printer's bullshit for the moment!)
Glad to see commenting is much easier with the new bloggers.
Ah I didnt know it was a page of Cicero that go mangled. I was surprised the first time I ever saw it but I ca see why it is used... it gives the shape and look of type without meaning a thing

Bloody new blogger! I guess I didn’t pay enough attention to that “all your previous template changes will be lost” segment…..errr….

LOL Steve. I could to the latin gibberish but I prefer just to say wibble!
It wasn't a bad experience on my end. I made the conversion months ago.
It seems to have been a very easy conversion. I like the new blogger's functionality.
