So, when I logged in this morning I had a whole post about Hermione planned, but as soon as my Dash board popped up, I realise something had changed. Blogger had switched over to its new stream line interface and I am now stuck with it. From everything that I've read, it is supposed to be less accessible for screen reader users, like myself, than the old interface and I was worried I'd have to find a new home for my blog. So far though, my screen reading software seems to be working with it, but I haven't tried to do anything fancy yet and until I try to post this blog entry, I won't know if I can even post anymore. With that in mind, I'm going to keep this short because I don't want to write a novel and it be all for nothing.
So, here's to hoping that "At A Glacial Pace" can stay where it is, despite Blogger forcing me to switch to the new user interface.

And it worked well for you. Congrats! :-)

This post came through great! Here's hoping Blogger works for you still.
Yes, other screen reader users are saying they can now usually manage to get a plain text post out (so that's progress, I suppose), but if you ever want to add in something like a link or a photo, or if you ever want to change any of your blog settings or options or anything like that it becomes a nightmare.
Right now, you can still switch back to the old interface, if you want to. Somewhere near the Go To Posts list, there is a button that is labeled something like "more options" - it brings up a list box with several items, one of which is "old interface" - if you can select that, you'll get the old Blogger back, for now. Mine was switched yesterday and I eventually found the option to switch it back again. I'm sure we all will still be forced to accept the new interface at some point though.
I still has my old interface in my dashboard but I guess I might as well start gettin' used to da new one pronto!

Oh man! The new interface is creeping across the internet like some evil sludge. As of this morning, I am still safe, but for how long?
